The Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering
The Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE) is a research unit funded by the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT), incorporating Universities of Coimbra and Minho as hosting institutions.
In 2025, ISISE was evaluated by FCT – the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology and graded EXCELLENT.
We are excited to announce that REFFRACTEUR is now recruiting 15 PhD candidates in Europe.
REFFRACTEUR is a Marie Skลodowska-Curie Doctoral Network โ Industrial Doctorates focused on the digital and green transition of refractory materials and high-temperature industries.
The programme offers:
โ
15 PhD positions
โ
36-month full-time appointments
โ
joint academic and industrial supervision
โ
international training and mobility
โ
at least 50% of the PhD in industry
Research topics include sustainable refractory materials, circularity and recycling, life cycle assessment, digital product passports, AI, digital twins, and industrial optimisation.

๐ข Call for Expressions of Interest โ Research Grant Opportunity
We are looking for candidates interested in a research grant opportunity within the RADIANCE project, funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe.
This opportunity focuses on real-time visual monitoring on construction sites, combining data from crane-mounted sensors, planning tools, and operational systems to improve safety, risk detection, and decision-making.
The work will involve:
developing image processing and analysis tools to detect hazardous situations;
creating a real-time alert system for integration into digital platforms and AR devices;
designing in-situ visual signalling solutions using coloured light beams;
validating the system through real-time image acquisition using cranes or drones.
We are currently collecting expressions of interest from candidates with a Masterโs degree in Civil Engineering, Informatic Systems, or a related field.

Deadline: March 28, 2026
๐ Expression of interest form: buff.ly/AE77wA6
Please share this opportunity with anyone in your network who may be interested.
