Help Shape the Future of Systems of Systems!

Thank you to Yuanrui Sang for her efforts in co-leading the Systems of Systems project! We’ve accomplished great things, and we look forward for opportunities to continue this momentum.

If you are passionate about making an impact and assisting to shape the future of Systems of Systems, we are looking for a new co-leader to help guide Project 3.

Open to all, especially junior faculty, research faculty, and postdoctoral scholars, this is an incredible opportunity to experience how a successful ERC operates while developing critical leadership skills in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Please reach out to Patrick for details.
