EAISI-IMPULS is a research investment program initiated to stimulate and increase public-private partnerships for application driven research in the EAISI key application areas of health, high tech industry and mobility.
The investment program for joint research projects aims to set up 10 to 20 projects which in total will house 50 researchers.
In an EAISI-IMPULS project TU/e cooperates with one industry partner or a consortium of partners. A typical project is scaled to a number of 4 PhD positions, but the project plan may include both PhD, PDEng and PostDoc positions.
The general principle is that one PhD position paid by industry is matched by TU/e with another PhD position. TU/e aims for high-pace contractual agreements based on lightweight proposal requirements without long evaluation time and without multi-stakeholder negotiations.
EAISI is encouraging cross-disciplinary research working on topics in the EAISI moonshots in a co-location setting of partner and TU/e employees.
