Doctoral Networks
The Dust Doctoral Network (Dust-DN), a project funded by the European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks, was established to bridge critical knowledge gaps in understanding mineral dust and its impacts by integrating diverse disciplines and methodologies. Its mission is to train early-career scientists to overcome compartmentalization in this field and adopt a multidisciplinary approach to dust research.
It represents a strategic, international, and intersectoral alliance that brings together a network of academic and non-academic partners working on various aspects of dust science. It coordinates a comprehensive program of doctoral projects aimed at advancing knowledge across interconnected components of the atmospheric dust life cycle and its impacts. These projects span atmospheric sciences (dust processes, modeling, and remote sensing), geology (dust emissions and source regions), and the societal and economic effects of dust. The knowledge generated will be shared among participating institutions, the broader scientific community, and the public. Collaborative activities will strengthen connections among partner institutions and doctoral researchers, delivering an ambitious advanced training program for capacity building.
