COST Action Fp1005 "Fibre suspension flow modelling: a
key for innovation and competitiveness in the pulp & paper
industry" is an Action of the COST Programme (European
Cooperation in Science and Technology) funded in the period 07/2011
- 06/2015 by the European Science Foundation, allowing coordination
of nationally-funded research on a European level.
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF COST ACTION FP1005 IS TO PROMOTE AND
DISSEMINATE VALIDATED COMPUTER MODELLING AND SIMULATION TECHNIQUES
IN PAPERMAKING INDUSTRY.
Competitiveness of pulp and paper industry is challenged
dramatically in Europe today. Traditional papermaking as well as
new fibre-based products should be developed in order to maintain
Europe's leading role in pulp and paper technology. Pulp and paper
production is largely determined by fluid dynamics of fibre
suspension flows. The objectives of the Action deal with numerical
modelling of fibre suspension flows as well as validation
measurements. The Action will offer industry a forum to solve test
cases relevant to industry and to compare simulated results to
experiments. Together simulations and experiments will result in
more reliable simulation tools to industry.
One of the most important tool to get the COST Action working are
the
Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM).
STSMs are aimed at strengthening the existing research
network by allowing scientists to visit an institution or
laboratory in another COST Country to foster collaboration, to
learn a new technique or to take measurements using instruments
and/or methods not available in their own institution or
laboratory. They should contribute to the scientific
objectives of the Action and are particularly intended for young
scientists.
Who (can apply):
* You must be a doctoral student or an employed
researcher.
* Typically the STSM is from one COST country that joined the
FP1005 Action to another such country. However, if you are based in
some other country there is still a chance you may be eligible.
Where (Host institution):
* Any institution in any of the COST countries that joined
the FP1005 Action
* STSMs cannot take place within the same country
How (Application procedure):
* On-line registration form at http://w3.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=91
