PANIONS is about interdisciplinary research across Europe in a fundamental field of research closely connected with appealing applications. Our doctoral candidates will be exposed and contribute to state-of-the-art science and technology in an international setting. Thereby, PANIONS will strengthen European integration and Europe’s position in today’s multi-polar world.
