Our research is focused on Time & Frequency Standards, measurement of Inertial Forces, and Field Sensing. Our network comprises a range of complementary research projects, which we grouped here by their role in the innovation process of future technology: Concepts, Technologies, and Applications. Most of these projects offer the opportunity for young researchers to join our efforts as PhD students (Early Stage Researchers). Three of the projects are open to Experienced Researchers (one in each group).
