Researcher training and Education
CINELDI recruited Masters, PhDs and Post doctors in the following disciplines: Electric power engineering, Communication technology, Information technology, Automation/cybernetics, Socioeconomics, and Social science aspects of smart grid.
For CINELDI, master's students, PhD students, and Postdoctoral researchers were important to the centre, and the mix of nationalities, genders, and multidisciplinary was good. People with diverse backgrounds provided valuable contributions to the research. Master’s theses were an important contribution to CINELDI’s work, and they brought the up-to-date and specialised knowledge from the centre with them into business and academia after completing their studies. The PhD candidates and Postdocs performed important work in both WPs and the pilot projects.
