Overview of RISE’s Doctoral Training Program
RISE’s Doctoral Training Program (DTP) kicked off in 2019 providing the best possible experience of impactful collaboration, following best practices from across Europe. RISE’s DTP is a far more valuable and engaging experience compared to working only with an individual supervisor or a small group in a University. The RISE DTP experience provides a collaborative cohort environment, in addition to offering a wide range of projects, research and innovation activities and training opportunities fostering knowledge transfer and student engagement with the wider community and the partner institutions.
RISE’s DTP includes an in-house program for supporting and guiding PhD students who will be registered at a University of the RISE consortium (University of Cyprus, Cyprus University of Technology or Open University of Cyprus). The in-house program allows students to participate in scientific colloquia, research presentations, mobility activities and visits, joint supervision of PhDs, and joint projects organized in collaboration with RISE’s advanced partners (UCL and Max Planck) and other members of its developing network. RISE will also facilitate the development and innovation of research ideas and outcomes and provide mentoring opportunities (e.g., peer feedback, guidance by senior researchers).
Indicative list of DTP courses:
1. Project Management
2. Innovation, Entrepreneurial and Intrapreneurial skills for Research Engineers
3. Product from Concept to Market
4. IP Protection Workshop: Key IP, commercialization, methods for Higher Education: licensing, spin-ins and spin-outs
5. Research Methods and Research Ethics
6. Science communication and dissemination
7. Grant-writing
8. Other seminars
RISE DTP will aim to provide a direct link to the advanced partners via short-term placements at their premises. RISE DTP will support PhD students’ participation in conferences and study visits at established research centres across Europe.
RISE will award a certificate for the participation in the RISE DTP program.
RISE DTP PhD Fellowships - 2020
In the academic year 2020-2021, as part of its Doctoral Training Program, RISE will offer up to eight (8) PhD fellowships to eligible candidates.
Fellowships will be for up to 3 years, during which candidates are expected to complete their PhD.

The Computer Graphics Group at Bielefeld University, Germany, is offering a
two-year full-time post-doc position in the field of Geometric Learning,
starting as soon as possible.
In a collaboration with the Honda Research Institute Europe we investigate
novel geometry representations for describing 3D models with few, but
geometrically meaningful parameters. By combining this representation with
machine learning we will analyze and manipulate families of geometric
models, for instance to transfer the style of one class of objects to
another class. The candidate will work at Bielefeld University most of the
time, but will also have the opportunity to spend several weeks per year at
the Honda Research Institute Europe (in Offenbach, near Frankfurt) in order
to intensify the collaboration and to gain insight into their research
environment and scientific challenges.
Please forward this call to interested researchers. More details can be

We are pleased to announce 15 PhD research positions within the MSCA-ITN-ETN
CLIPE (Creating Lively Interactive Populated Environments)
CLIPE ( http://clipe-itn.eu/ ) is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative
Training Network in the framework of Horizon 2020, starting on March 1st,
2020 with a four-year duration. The network consists of 9
universities/research centers and 5 industrial partners.
The primary objective of CLIPE is to train a generation of innovators and
researchers in the field of virtual characters simulation and animation.
Advances in technology are pushing towards making VR/AR worlds a daily
experience. Whilst virtual characters are an important component of these
worlds, bringing them to life and giving them interaction and communication
abilities requires highly specialized programming combined with artistic
skills, and considerable investments: millions spent on countless coders and
designers to develop video-games is a typical example. The research
objective of CLIPE is to design the next-generation of VR-ready characters.
CLIPE is addressing the most important current aspects of the problem,
making the characters capable of:
* behaving more naturally;
* interacting with real users sharing a virtual experience with them;
* being more intuitively and extensively controllable for virtual worlds
designers.
To meet our objectives, the CLIPE consortium gathers some of the main
European actors in the field of VR/AR, computer graphics, computer
animation, psychology and perception. CLIPE also extends its partnership to
key industrial actors of populated virtual worlds, giving students the
ability to explore new application fields and start collaborations beyond
academia.
Starting date is by September 2020. For more information about the project
can be found in the attached file, and in the project web site:
