Enhancing Ukraine’s Technological Resilience and Development
In a significant initiative funded by the European Commission, Ukrainian researchers and software engineers are offered an opportunity to collaborate with leading European academic institutions. This collaboration focuses on advanced research in critical technological areas essential for Ukraine’s resilience and growth, especially in light of the ongoing conflict and post-war recovery efforts, as well as for integration into the single European Union economic space.
Prestigious European Universities Open Doors for Research Visits
We are delighted to announce secondment opportunities at three prestigious European universities:
- University of Warwick, United Kingdom
- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
- Tampere University, Finland
These trips, ranging from 1 to 12 months, are fully funded by the European Commission, encompassing all related expenses, including transport, accommodation, and living costs.
Targeting Experts in Data Science and Technical Project Management
We are searching for dedicated professionals in two key areas:
- Data Science / AI Specialists: To contribute to groundbreaking projects using AI in geohazard prediction, infrastructure resilience, and advanced communication systems.
- Technical Project Managers: With familiarity with machine learning to oversee project delivery, communication, and commercialisation planning. A PhD is desirable but not required.
The specialists have to be able to relocate to the host institution for the period of the secondment.
Project Highlights and Their Impact on Ukraine
Earth Observation-Assisted Ground Failure Detection
This project aims to enhance geohazard understanding and develop deep learning methods for forecasting failures in infrastructure, crucial for Ukraine’s safety and preparedness against natural and human-made disasters.
Laboratory Tests and Constitutive Modelling for Infrastructure
This project focuses on soil material analysis and data integration with machine learning, aiding in the development of predictive models and early warning systems for infrastructure resilience, a vital aspect for war-torn areas.
Fiber Optic Sensor-Assisted Failure Detection
Directed by KTH, this project involves developing advanced optical fiber sensing systems for real-time infrastructure monitoring, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of Ukrainian infrastructures during and after conflict.
Resilience and Sustainable Development Frameworks
This initiative integrates data-driven and model-based solutions to develop a comprehensive monitoring framework and an early warning system, enhancing community and infrastructure resilience in Ukraine.
AI-Enhanced High-Quality Radio Communication
This project, titled “Machine Learning Supported High Quality Radio Link” focuses on leveraging AI and ML to address challenges in future radio communications. It involves developing AI-inspired wideband power amplifiers for high-quality radio signals, context-aware beam alignment, neural network strategies for radio links, and load demand modelling. These innovations are critical for Ukraine, enhancing communication systems crucial for both civilian and military purposes during and post-conflict.
How to Apply?
Interested candidates should share their CV on this page or emailing to eu@skeingroup.com, highlighting their experience and motivation for joining the program.
This initiative is more than a series of secondments; it’s a catalyst for technological advancement and resilience in Ukraine. It offers Ukrainian professionals a unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research, develop international networks, and contribute to projects that have a direct impact on their country’s future.
