1

The first doctoral network on a European scale (to our knowledge), bringing together expertise on mineral dust in the atmosphere, combining multidisciplinary aspects.

2

A strategic international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral alliance of high-profile beneficiaries and associated partners, able to leverage on unique state-of-the-art facilities

3

A careful blend between individual research projects and integrated combined training and networking, and a critical mass on dust-focused studies using complementary methodologies.

4

Exposure of the doctoral candidates to differing research and working environments, multiple technologies and methodologies.

5

Training in the atmospheric sciences, dust science questions, transferable skills and on the partners’ unique research infrastructure, enabling to tackle the bigger picture of dust challenges.

6

Dedicated applied research projects with direct contributions and impacts embedded with the societal and industrial sector.
