POST-DIGITAL POST-DIGITAL: NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING IN PHOTONIC AND OTHER NONLINEAR MEDIA

POST-DIGITAL is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
POST-DIGITAL is committed to form a new generation of engineers and researchers, affording them with a uniquely broad interdisciplinary education and training which enables them to design and develop unconventional computing systems which, for the first time, pass over the threshold of real-world exploitability and which thereby help Europe’s ICT landscape to master the transformation out of the impending crises of digital technologies.
POST-DIGITAL brings together fourteen leading academic and industrial players (including IBM, Thales and three highly reputed SMEs) in optical and neuromorphic computing, already connected in long-standing collaboration networks. These groups will now join forces in order to train through ground breaking research, complimentary skills training and industrial secondments fifteen high calibre early-stage researchers to become backbone innovators in a technology domain that is crucial for Europe’s sustained competitiveness in ICT scenarios facing a dramatic pressure for fundamental re-thinking.
