MS-RADAM
Multiscale phenomena in radiation damage
Funder: Horizon Europe Doctoral Network
Duration: 2026-2029
Amount: € 4,390,066.08
The MS-RADAM Doctoral Network (DN) will deliver a state-of-the-art research programme that pioneers multiscale modelling and advanced experiments to understand radiation damage from the nano- to the biological scale. The project focuses on ion-irradiation-induced radiation damage in biomolecular and biological systems, with direct relevance to particle therapy and related technological and biomedical applications. MS-RADAM will train 14 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in the methods and skills needed to work at this interface of radiation physics, chemistry and life sciences. Within this consortium, the University of Kent will host two DC positions, centred on multiscale modelling of radiation-driven processes and their impact on complex molecular and materials systems. MS-RADAM brings together leading academic and industrial partners to provide international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral training, complemented by tailored development in transferable and entrepreneurial skills to prepare DCs for diverse careers in research, industry and innovation.
