Driving the Green and Digital Transition in Aviation, Mobility, Materials and Clean Energy

At Eskişehir Technical University (ESTÜ), we are ready to collaborate in MSCA Doctoral Networks and contribute to ambitious, interdisciplinary doctoral training and research programmes.

We bring together strong academic expertise, specialised laboratories, advanced prototyping and testing facilities, industry cooperation and a distinctive aviation ecosystem. Our university also operates its own licensed airport and offers specialised education and research capabilities across aviation, aerospace and applied engineering.

We are particularly interested in partnerships addressing the green and digital transformation through the following areas:

Aviation and aerospace technologies

• Sustainable, electric and hydrogen-powered aviation

• Aerodynamics, propulsion and aircraft energy management

• Aircraft systems, maintenance and operational efficiency

• Unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous flight systems

• Aviation safety, air traffic management and human factors

• Emissions reduction, alternative fuels and environmental performance

Advanced and functional materials

• Advanced alloys, ceramics and composite materials

• Lightweight and high-performance materials

• Surface engineering, coatings and thin films

• Smart, functional and energy-related materials

• Materials modelling, characterisation and testing

Artificial intelligence and digital engineering

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning for engineering applications

• Digital twins, modelling, simulation and virtual testing

• Predictive maintenance and intelligent condition monitoring

• Data-driven optimisation and decision-support systems

• Autonomous, adaptive and human-centred systems

Clean energy and advanced energy systems

• Hydrogen technologies and fuel cells

• Batteries, electrochemistry and energy storage

• Low-carbon and energy-efficient technologies

• Thermal management and energy optimisation

• Design, integration, control and testing of sustainable energy systems

Advanced manufacturing and system development

• Additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping

• Smart manufacturing, automation and robotics

• Multidisciplinary system design and optimisation

• Prototype development, verification and validation

• Experimental testing and technology demonstration

Within MSCA Doctoral Networks, we are ready to contribute through doctoral supervision, research training, secondments, laboratory access, modelling and simulation, prototype development, experimental testing and cooperation with industry.

We are open to joining emerging consortia as a beneficiary or associated partner and to taking responsibility for research, training, dissemination, industry engagement and relevant work packages.
