I4WORLD - Imaging and Characterization for a Sustainable World (2022-2027) is a new doctoral program within a well-established doctoral training environment at the University of Oulu in Finland co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Co-funding of regional, national, and international programs (COFUND).

Within this program, there are 5 doctoral opportunities that combine experiments, first principles simulations and machine learning techniques,  and the positions are primarily located in Nano and molecular systems research unit ( NANOMO), University of Oulu and secondment is planned in reputed international institutes.
