๐ข Call for Expressions of Interest โ Research Grant Opportunity
We are looking for candidates interested in a research grant opportunity within the RADIANCE project, funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe.
This opportunity focuses on real-time visual monitoring on construction sites, combining data from crane-mounted sensors, planning tools, and operational systems to improve safety, risk detection, and decision-making.
The work will involve:
developing image processing and analysis tools to detect hazardous situations;
creating a real-time alert system for integration into digital platforms and AR devices;
designing in-situ visual signalling solutions using coloured light beams;
validating the system through real-time image acquisition using cranes or drones.
We are currently collecting expressions of interest from candidates with a Masterโs degree in Civil Engineering, Informatic Systems, or a related field.

Deadline: March 28, 2026
๐ Expression of interest form: buff.ly/AE77wA6
Please share this opportunity with anyone in your network who may be interested.

How can the behaviour of the face plate component in tension be predicted in I-beam to concrete-filled tubular column steel joints?
This study proposes a ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ to describe the nonlinear behaviour of the face plate component, validated through experimental tests and finite element analyses.
