A Consortium of Large Scale Facilities in the Field of Energy, Combustion and the Environment

Combustion Technology: Research, Development & Training
Transnational Access to Major Research Infrastructures

What is EuroFlam?

The EuroFlam programme is a unique opportunity for engineers, scientists and technicians to travel and gain applied experience and knowledge in the area of, energy, environment and combustion by undertaking a funded period of training and research at one of Europe’s three leading Combustion Research Institutes which form the EuroFlam Consortium:

• The Italian Power Company ENEL - Italy
• The IFRF Research Station and IFRF NET - The Netherlands
• Cardiff University UWC - United Kingdom

Who funds it?

Funding for the EuroFlam programme is provide by the European Commission who actively encourage the professional development and training of engineers, scientists and technicians to meet the high demand for educated, enthusiastic and skilled combustion personnel for European Industry to tackle its energy related problems, through more efficient utilisation of fuel leading to a better environment which can be sustained in the future.

Funded training and research periods may be arranged under two headings:

• Access to Research Infrastructures (EuroFlam3)
  General Energy Link at CORDIS

• Marie Curie Training (EuroFlam MCT)
  Training Site Link at CORDIS

 

Who can use it?

Participation in EuroFlam is available to:

• Undergraduates who require training experience as part of their study (EuroFlam3);
• New graduates seeking post-education training and practical work experience (EuroFlam3);
• PhD students (EuroFlam3 and EuroFlam MCT);
• Individuals seeking Continued Professional Development (EuroFlam3).

What's in there for me?

Successful EuroFlam applicants will be funded to travel to and train for a period of up to 6 months at any of the three large-scale facilities. In the case of a Marie Curie Training Fellowship, this period can be up to 12 months.

The programme offers applicants both an educational and cultural enhancing experience at facilities equipped with the most modern combustion research equipment, state-of-the-art laser diagnostic, measurement and computational equipment.

Each facility has its own technical, scientific and cultural approach to energy and associated environmental problems however all share similar objectives:

• To enhance the efficient use of fossil and alternative fuels;
• To develop and promote the application of renewable fuels;
• To tackle the problems of airborne pollutants;
• To combat the long term climate change/global warming problems through the reduction of specific CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions.
