ESRs present themselves. Watch our video introduction on Fraunhofer ISE's blog Innovation 4E.
First ESRs have joined their host institutions at the beginning of April 2017.
Our Recruiting Day was held on 17th January 2017 in Brussels, Belgium. Thanks to everyone who contributed to a successful event. We have found a group of very qualified and promising ESRs and look forward to start the programme in April 2017.
The Kick-off meeting was held in Frankfurt, Germany on 27th October 2016.
