NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Their core work

NJIT is a US-based public research university that contributes specialized expertise to European research consortia through Marie Skłodowska-Curie mobility actions. Their H2020 involvement spans computational fluid dynamics for high-speed turbomachinery, nanomedicine and advanced bioimaging, computer vision for forensics, and large-scale IoT network research. As a third-party contributor in all four projects, they provide deep technical know-how in simulation, imaging, and computational methods to EU-led teams.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

NJIT's early H2020 involvement (2016–2019) centered on applied digital technologies — computer vision for forensics and massive IoT network design — with no detailed keyword footprint in the data. From 2020 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward physics-based simulation and biomedical applications, including high-performance aerodynamics computing and nanocarrier-based bioimaging. This suggests a move from broad ICT participation toward more specialized, computationally intensive research domains.

NJIT is moving toward computationally demanding scientific problems — high-performance simulation and advanced microscopy — suggesting future collaborations will likely involve HPC, numerical methods, or biomedical imaging.

How they like to work

NJIT participates exclusively as a third-party contributor through MSCA mobility schemes, never as a coordinator or direct consortium partner. Despite this peripheral role, they have connected with 38 unique partners across 25 countries, indicating broad international exposure through staff exchanges. Working with NJIT means tapping into a US-based research team comfortable operating within EU framework rules, primarily through researcher mobility rather than direct project management.

Through four MSCA projects, NJIT has worked with 38 unique partners across 25 countries, reflecting the large, multi-partner nature of MSCA-RISE staff exchange networks. Their reach is genuinely global, connecting European consortia to US-based expertise.

What sets them apart

As a US university participating in EU projects, NJIT offers something most European partners cannot: a transatlantic bridge for researcher mobility and knowledge exchange under MSCA schemes. Their dual strength in high-performance computing for engineering simulation and biomedical nanoscience makes them versatile across disciplines. For consortium builders, NJIT adds geographic diversity and access to US research infrastructure without the complexity of a full US partner agreement.
