Abstract

Artificial molecular machines have the potential to revolutionise medical treatment, material design, and energy conversion for the benefit of the European and global community. Key fundamental aspects have been studied and the findings were awarded with the 2016 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Now it is time to guide the research further towards game-changing implementations that utilise artificial movement of molecules and orchestrate them in large systems.
The ITN project ArtMoMa aims at pushing the current scientific boundaries in the field by creating a new generation of skilled young researchers ready to take the future scientific and technological challenges.
In the medium- to long-term, we have the joint vision to create new and sustainable education structures with strong involvement from key stakeholders and including industry. This will build a continuous stream of leading European scientists who will create further knowledge and innovations in the future, ranging from processes to products to services and resulting in economic growth and leadership in this field.

Goals

a) Push the current scientific boundaries further and to explore entirely new directions of fundamental research towards technologically relevant implementations.
b) Educate and mentor 15 curious and highly capable ESRs to form a critical mass of fully skilled young professionals acting as multipliers to develop technologies across Europe.
