The Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network visuAAL (Privacy-Aware and Acceptable Video-Based Technologies and Services for Active and Assisted Living) invites applications for 15 early-stage researcher (ESR) / PhD positions, available with a starting date in the period February 2021 – March 2021. The duration of the appointment is 36 months, full-time employment contract.

The aim of visuAAL is to bridge the knowledge gap between users’ requirements and the appropriate and secure use of video-based AAL technologies to deliver effective and supportive care to older adults managing their health and wellbeing.

visuAAL will seek to increase awareness and understanding of the context-specific ethical, legal, privacy and societal issues necessary to implement visual system across hospital, home and community settings, in a manner that protects and reassures users; outputs will stimulate the development of a new research perspective for constructively addressing privacy-aware video-based working solutions for assisted living.

visuAAL is a four-year (2020-2024) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN), which brings together 5 beneficiaries and 14 partner organisations from Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom. visuAAL will provide a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral combination of training, non-academic placements, courses and workshops on scientific and complementary skills to 15 high achieving ESRs. These newly hired ESRs will contribute through their individual research projects to fulfil visuAAL’s aims.
