A Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network funded under the HORIZON-MSCA-2024-DN-01 call
Negative ions are present in many natural environments, and they are used in a wide range of modern applications. Their unique properties make them ideal quantum systems for benchmarking state-of-the-art theories in atomic and molecular physics and chemistry. PANIONS aims to substantially advance our understanding of negative ions beyond the state of the art, from atomic to cosmic scales, and to bridge the gap between fundamental science and applications. The project started on 1 January 2026 and will run for 48 months until 31 December 2029.
PANIONS is coordinated by Prof. Dag Hanstorp from the University of Gothenburg Department of Physics. The Doctoral Network will train 14 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) across 11 host institutions in Europe in a variety of fields, with negative ions as the common denominator. Students enrolled in the programme will acquire a comprehensive skill set relevant to virtually any area of advanced science and technology, preparing them for future careers in academia and industry.
