Project coordination: University of Rennes, France (Mélanie Davranche, Aline Dia). https://geosciences.univ-rennes1.fr/en/highlights/panorama-project-winner-2019-marie-sklodowska-curie-itn-innovative-training-network

Research objective: to elucidate the man-induced environmental dissemination of REE and the associated effects on the environmental health, supporting Europe in the development of a clean, efficient and circular economy.

PANORAMA brings together the skills of (geo)chemists, (hydro)geologists and (eco)toxicologists, working within a consortium of 14 partner universities and 4 private partners to train 15 PhD students. The project will combine training and cutting-edge research tools through field/analysis/experimentation/modelling approaches. The close partnership of members of the academic and non-academic sectors within the consortium will give PhD students a unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills in both basic research and cross-cutting skills. This project provides students with all the elements that will enable them to obtain lasting jobs in the academic, industrial, commercial or political sectors, all within a high-level European intersectoral collaborative framework.
