The ECOMATES training program consists of cutting-edge research projects executed by ten Doctoral Candidates (DCs) recruited across the different institutions of the training network. The DCs will develop innovative scientific and technical skills, but also follow complementary and interdisciplinary skills courses, both at a local and network-wide level. International and intersectoral secondment across the partners in the network will be an important part of DC’s training activity. Here follows a summary of the PhD openings in the network and the corresponding project titles:
| DC# | Recruiting Participant | Project Title |

Applications
The application deadline to join the Ecomates doctoral network has now passed, since it was set for March 15th 2023. The doctoral candidates’ recruitment process has been successfully concluded in the recent months with the selection of 10 young researchers who will bring innovation to the field of electrocatalysis.
