Lecturer Gonzalo Seco, from the Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering, and ICTA-UAB researcher Giacomo D'Alisa will be in charge of coordinating the UAB's involvement in two projects with a total budget of €756,000.
The call for projects of the MSCA-Doctoral Networks 2022 belonging to the Horizon Europe programme awarded funding to 149 projects with a total budget of 429.4 million euros. Hese projects have the objective of offering training to PhD candidates through international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral proposals. The UAB will be a partner in two proposals:
MiFuture: ultra-massive MIMO for future cell-free heterogeneous networks. The project is led by UAB lecturer Gonzalo Seco, from the Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering, and includes a budget of €251,971.20. This will cover the cost of hiring and training a PhD student for 3 years. The research conducted by the MiFuture project will focus on the design of signals, channel models, processing algorithms and network protocols called cell-free heterogeneous networks, with an ultra-massive number of antennas, with the aim of making it possible for 5G cell systems to evolve towards 6G with joint functionalities of communications, position and detection, and more demanding requirements of energy efficiency and reliability.
EPOG-DN: Economic POlicies for the Global bifurcation - Doctoral Network. This project is led at the UAB by ICTA-UAB researcher Giacomo D'Alisa with a total budget of €503,942.40. The project will allow hiring and training two PhD students for three years. The objective of the project is to develop a community of economists capable of working with other disciplines, sectors or agents to surpass the limits of dominant economic paradigms when taking on ecological challenges. At the same time it aims to outline the trajectories of contemporary societies in an efficient, inclusive and democratic manner.
