CoSSHNet (Complementary Synthetic Strategies toward Heterocyclic Boronates) is a dual-partner Industrial Doctorate (EID) offering research training in state-of-the-art chemical synthesis, catalysis, bioactive molecule design and high throughput library synthesis. The CoSSHNet ITN started in January 2014 and runs until December 2017. The network provides research and training opportunities for two early-stage researchers in the field of synthetic chemistry for the preparation of bioactive molecules. The network comprises two full partners, one academic (the University of Sheffield) and one industrial partner (Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH).

Through integration of the complementary, interdisciplinary and intersectorial expertise of the partners, this network will help to strengthen Europe’s human resources in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The researchers will be supervised and mentored by internationally recognised experts and have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Hands-on training will be supplemented by formal training courses in relevant and related fields, and a wide variety of complementary training courses, summer school and seminars. Researchers will benefit from secondments to the industrial partner for a significant period of the project, thereby gaining extensive exposure to a commercially based scientific environment. 

 

This project is supported by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions of the FP7 'People' Programme.

As it was done last year by the older ITN Network (ECHONet), the two Early Stage Researchers are organising an international conference which subject will be Boronic compounds and their use in Chemistry. This one-day conference will feature both academic and industrial speakers as well as presentation from the Early Stage Researchers.
