candidatures to the last closing session will be evaluated in June.

ESR 3 has been re-opened. New deadline: 7th of March.

The ATLAS consortium is recruiting for a range of posts related to intraluminal surgery.

ATLAS is a Marie Curie ITN-EJD Project (Innovative Training Network – European Joint Doctorate, GA No 813782) that targets the training of 
experts in a very specific branch of Robotic Surgery. Within this scheme, 15 Ph.D. positions are funded.

The Consortium is formed by
- KU Leuven - Belgium
- TU Delft - The Netherlands
- Université de Strasbourg - France
- Politecnico di Milano - Italy
- Università di Verona - Italy
- Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna – Italy (Pisa)
- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Spain (Barcellona)


Upon successful completion, each Ph.D. candidate will be awarded a double Ph.D. degree.

Successful candidates will advance the state of the art in the following fields:
- lumen reconstruction and lumen modelling,
- sensor technology for intraluminal perception,
- actuation technology for continuum robots, and
- distributed control and decision making for autonomous continuum robots.
