HARMONY has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement N°101072798. The project brings to fore a vertically integrated research programme in an industrial doctoral network for 9 PhD candidates structured around two innovative architectural satellite system concepts, namely; Fractionation, where the functions traditionally performed by a single monolithic satellite are distributed among a cluster of modules interconnected by inter-satellite links (ISLs), and; Federation, where a cluster of satellites, each with full functional capabilities, exploit ISLs to dynamically share unused and available resources (e.g. memory, data processors or downlink capacity) to improve performance and efficiency. In addition to the conduction of a well-defined project for each HARMONY researcher, the PhD training programme is complemented by traditional academic training as well as a variety of personalised and network-wide initiatives.
