Doctoral Program Goal:

Overall objective(impact) and relevance of the activity:

AFSIN network activity for the period from 2018 to 2020 will be devoted to strengthening capacities in terms of human resources. To achieve this goal, activities will be organized around one main priority and program: training and mobility of the young scientists of the network in order to sustain the research activities in each node and prepare the upcoming generation.

Specific objectives for 2018-2020:

AFSIN will strengthen his human resource capacities by establishing a Doctoral program in Photonics and Spectroscopy followed by a doctoral training program.

Expected outcomes of the research activity:

  • Scientific Results:
