Description:
The Marie-Curie Initial training Network “SADCO-Sensitivity Analysis of Deterministic Optimal COntrol design” links eight academic and three industrial partners with complementary excellence and strong expertise in optimal control theory. The main aim is to train young researchers in a challenging field of mathematics where there is a real need for formation, and also to build the foundation of a long-term European research-training network in this field. The goal is to make progress the theory, to develop new numerical methods and to answer new challenges arising in high technology fields, where the European community must maintain a position of leader (space, automobile, energy management,?). The training program combines fundamental theoretical aspects as well as algorithmic studies, and includes a significant (industrial) application driven part. This program will be done through a joint research project which will be carried out by the participants to the network throughout collaborations beetwen the different teams (and not inside a same team). Particular emphasis will be put on close contacts between the teams. The full network partners will not only host their own ESRs, but will also receive other partners’ ESRs in secondments in the frame of well defined individual training programs. The network will draw on the diverse strengths of its constituent institutions to provide an integrated program of technical, professional and transferable skills training for early stage researchers (ESRs). In order to fill the lacks, we intend to set up additional special modulus opened to all the participants of the network. The SADCO network is constituted of a selected group of partners, having the best competences in optimal control theory in Europe, to ensure a top level scientific environment, a high background in applied mathematics and a broad knowledge of optimal control from fundamental theory to applications, and to give them better opportunities of employability afterwards either in academic labs or industry.
