DYNACOM is an European Industrial Doctorate (EID) programme focused on the design of the next generation of structural composite materials for high strain rate applications. Two of the major milestones of this EID are: (1) to offer 2 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) a multidisciplinary and intersectorial training with the objective of establishing a new design paradigm in structural design of composite materials and (2) to provide the European industry with new tools towards a knowledge-based incorporation of composite materials into new components, without the need of inefficient and expensive traditional trial and error approaches. To accomplish this, the programme brings together one research institution (IMDEA Materials Institute, project coordinator), two industrial partners (HEXCEL and Micro Materials), one academic institution (The Technical University of Madrid) and a non-profit organization (Madri+d).
