Interested in applying?

You can identify a number of research topics and research projects submitted by B-PHOT Brussels Photonics below. These provide suggestions for the development of a proposal; they should assist you in identifying mutual research interests, innovation potential, and areas for skill acquisition that enhance your research competencies. The topics and research projects can be used as a basis to discuss collaborating on an MSCA-Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PD) proposal. Click here for more information.
