 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'This ITN project will train young investigators to enable them make significant advances in the field of in situ sensor technology. It will bring together 15 research groups and 2 industrial partners from across the European Union. The ITN will provide training for 16 PhD students, early stage researchers (ESRs) and 1 Postdoctoral student, experienced researcher (ER). The programme will combine the strengths of the leading marine and engineering research groups in the EU, and through a structured and extensive programme of collaboration and student exchange, will provide a powerful, cohesive marine sensor development programme. Fundamentally, the outcome of this ITN will be to equip Europe with a network of young scientist/engineers, who will share a common technical culture and approach, and who will ultimately enable the monitoring of our fragile yet rapidly changing marine environment.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A recent skills development programme has seen young researchers trained in the field of marine sensing technology.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Oceans are under threat due to a wide range of human and environmental pressures. In order to prevent catastrophic changes in marine biodiversity and ecosystems, scientists need better ways to monitor ocean health.

The EU-funded 'International sensor development network' (http://www.eu-sensenet.net (SENSENET)) project was established to train researchers in the growing field of in situ marine sensor technology. The project brought together 15 research laboratories and two commercial sensor companies.

Sixteen PhD students and one postdoctoral researcher received training through workshops, training in the field and university-based training courses. They learned about optical and chemical sensors, as well as about common issues with marine sensing, like data collection and anti-fouling technologies.

As part of the SENSENET project, researchers developed and tested novel optical and chemical sensors. This allowed them to measure properties such as dissolved oxygen, pH and nutrient levels in real time.

In addition, they improved anti-fouling mechanisms for sensor technology and developed a new long-distance underwater data transmission system. SENSENET has produced 33 academic papers, with another 32 in various stages of preparation, as well as 75 conference contributions.

This project essentially kick-started the academic career of a number of young researchers through varied training initiatives. And, importantly, SENSENET has advanced the state of the art in this critical research area.
