To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the scientific part of NEPIT is organized in three research lines which are organised in work package(s) (WP), totally integrated in the context of the doctoral training programme and bridging the perceived gap between research and industry:
- Work package 5 - Complex field distributions in semi-enclosed environments
- Work package 6 - Coupling of EM fields i/o of electrically large high-tech systems
- Work package 7 - Novel and in-situ test methods of dense high-tech systems
The organisational part of the NEPIT project is organised via the work packages:
- Work package 1 - Management
- Work package 2 - Training
- Work package 3 - Communication - Dissemination & Exploitation
- Work package 4 - Outreach
WP1 – Management
Lead Beneficiary: 1. UT – Work Package Leader: Jan Beerens
Objectives: Successful and efficient project execution according to work plan, maintenance of relations between participants and DCs, communication management, finance and reporting.
WP2 – Training
Lead Beneficiary: 2. OVGU – Work Package Leader: Ralf Vick
Objectives: Create European Doctoral training for EM fields propagation & EM compatibility; Develop structural doctoral programme for future generation of researchers/engineers in Europe; Change the mind-set of researchers and engineers.
WP3 – Communication - Dissemination & Exploitation
Lead Beneficiary: 5. LL – Work Package Leader: Eike Suthau
Objectives: Communicate the results of NEPIT to the academic, industrial, standardization and public communities in Europe. Establish a solid exploitation plan for future market introduction of EM field propagation and compatibility design.
WP4 – Outreach
Lead Beneficiary: 1. UT – Work Package Leader: Jan Beerens
Objectives: communication initiatives directed at the general public with the primary goal to create awareness of the importance of research to society and to raise awareness of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, based on the principle ‘public engagement’ of the 'European Charter for Researchers'.
WP5 – Complex field distributions in semi-enclosed environments
Lead Beneficiary: 3. PWR – Work Package Leader: Zbigniew Joskiewicz
Objectives: Modelling with sufficient accuracy the impact of the random EM environment where systems are deployed, and create a breakthrough in the simulation of EM wave propagation characteristics in semi-enclosed environments.
