Length: 4 years
multi-disciplinary team work and multiple
tutorships, and includes as major training
elements a variety of transferable and soft
skills aimed at growing a generation of sci-
entists who are highly sought after in sci-
ence and industry.
Two test cases at Mount Etna (Italy) and
Krafla caldera (Iceland) provide ideal condi-
tions to develop advanced methods and
understanding of the subsurface structure
and dynamics at active volcanoes.
