About ArchiFun
ArchiFun is an international doctoral programme within the Arqus Alliance. It explores the connections between structure, function, and dynamics at every level, from atoms to ecosystems. Moreover, the research topics align with Horizon Europe's Destination 5: "Unlocking new tools, technologies, and digital solutions for a healthier society”. The following flyer explains the programme.
The five implementing partner universities will synergistically collaborate with fundamental European Union actors, such as ESRF, a few components of MOSBRI, one extra EU partner, and four small/medium enterprises.
