MarineUAS
Doctoral training in MarineUAS
Why MarineUAS?
Innovative Training Network
on Autonomous Unmanned Aerial
Systems for Marine and Coastal
Monitoring
MarineUAS will recruit and train doctoral fellows via a
specially developed and unique training program
designed on the EU Principles for Innovative Doctoral
Training.
European countries have vast coasts and economic
zones that go far into the Atlantic and Arctic oceans
and are challenging to monitor and manage. The need
to protect and manage the vulnerable natural
environment and marine resources in a sustainable
manner is important for the society.
M
arineUAS is an EU-funded doctoral program to
strategically strengthen research training on
Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems for Marine and
Coastal Monitoring. It is a comprehensive researcher
training program across a range of partners in several
countries designed to have high impact on the training of
individual researchers and their knowledge, skills and their
future careers.
MarineUAS has established a unique cooperative
environment. It takes benefit of the partners' extensive
and complementary knowledge, field operational
experience, and experimental facilities. Marine UAS will
build a solid foundation for long-term European
excellence and innovation in this field .
MarineUAS is hiring 15 Early Stage
Researchers to highly attractive PhD
fellowship positions starting in 2015
These PhD students will participate in an extensive training
programme and take part in secondments between
partners in the consortium. To apply for a doctoral
fellowship, you must have less than 4 years of research
experience since your master degree, and must not have
stayed more than 1 year during the past 3 years in the
country you apply. These are strict rules.

Expanding on existing doctoral programs, it combines
cutting edge training-by-research, dedicated
supervision, complementary and transferable skills
training, secondments, hands-on UAS operator training,
and cross-disciplinary mindset. Training is supported
by a series of network-wide training events that cover
UAS technology, rules and regulations, operations in
non-segregated airspace, air traffic management,
marine and coastal monitoring and science, and the
integration of the air, surface, and underwater
autonomous vehicle segments.
The drive towards activities in more remote locations
and harsher environment demands new approaches
and
technologies. A
key enabling
technology is
the use of
autonomous
unmanned
aerial vehicle
systems (UAS)
as a
supplement to
manned
aircraft and
satellite-based
remote
sensing, oftentimes exploiting strong collaborative
links with buoys, ships and autonomous marine
vehicles for in-situ observations.
UAS offers potential advantages such as high
endurance, reduced cost, increased flexibility and
availability, rapid deployment, higher accuracy or
resolution, and reduced risk for humans and negative
impact on the environment.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon
2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie
Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 642153.
