ActaReBuilt is an HORIZON-MSCA-DN-2021 project intended to provide high-level training of early stage researchers in retrofit of office building stock in Europe by means of sustainable materials and building components. In particular, they will learn how to improve and guarantee acoustic and thermal performance of buildings that undergo renovation processes, while minimizing the embodied carbon production. 

The training offered to 10 Doctoral Candidates (DC) interconnected through the ActaReBuild network will enforce their research and transferable skills necessary for thriving careers in this burgeoning area. 

This goal will be achieved by:

•  a unique combination of specialized “hands-on” research training supported by high quality joint PhD degree supervision;

•  performing of secondments at industrial partners; 

• participation at courses and workshops on scientific and complementary so-called “soft” skills facilitated by the academic and non-academic partners of the consortium.

The project is coordinated by Monika Rychtarikova - KU Leuven and is subdivided into 10 individual sub-projects, each one involving one PhD student (Doctoral Candidate - DC).
