The Mobility program for the SMART4ENV project has begun as planned according to the project timeline, starting from September 11, 2023, to September 29, 2023, at UNIVPM. The Mobility program is one of the most important deliverables of the SMART4ENV projects, and through our website we will review the various activities of the program and the trainees. We will also review the most important goals for you. Mobility program and its outcomes.
What is the SMART4ENV Mobility Porgramme?
SAMRT4ENV Mobility provides financial support to fund the cost of travel (transport, accommodation, etc.) of a researcher.
The international partner is a partner of SMART4Env project that agrees to host the individual research, guides him/her/them through their working environment and implements the project with him/her/them.
The SMART4ENV Mobility scheme allows the researcher to internationalize their activities by pursuing one of the following objectives in different HOST INSTITUTION (UNIVPM/UVIC/NMBU).
What are objectives from the SMART4ENV Mobilities for individual specialized training (IT) for Seniors and/or technical staff?
⦁ Training on Smart Environmental solutions applied to resilient water management in support of topics of visual sensors and imaging; real-time chemical dosing and monitoring; IoT and implementation of data analysis algorithms . (IT1)
⦁ Training on Smart Environmental solutions applied to smart agriculture in support of topics of sensors and microcontrollers for efficient and effective water usage; remote sensing techniques and satellite systems for soil moisture mapping; drought and surface flood data for early warning. (IT2)
⦁ Training on Smart Environmental solutions applied to air quality in support of topics of low-cost air quality and road traffic monitoring systems for real time mapping street-level air quality. (IT3)
