Missions

Working closely with the scientific coordinator, the EPM assists in coordinating a European project funded under Horizon Europe, within the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks call: UNVEIL (Unified Nondestructive Evaluation of Historical Artifacts). The PM's mission is to ensure smooth consortium operation and facilitate its overall functioning in compliance with the Grant Agreement and the Consortium Agreement. He/She will be integrated into the International Research Lab 2958 Georgia Tech-CNRS in Metz, more specifically within the Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Dynamics team. As a close collaborator of the coordinator, the EPM will also play a transversal support role, contributing to the preparation, monitoring, and valorization of the team's broader initiatives within the International Research Lab 2958 Georgia Tech-CNRS in Metz.
