Fluid dynamics and SDGs

Before joining the MFLOPS project, Hamid Teimouri (now DC4) had worked as a teacher at Soroush Vocational High School in Isfahan, Iran. In January 2025, he reunited with his former students to motivate them towards a research related career path. His audience consisted of thirty 17-year -old students and former colleagues. Hamid surprised everyone not only with his presence but also by bringing to the class a cake with the words “MSCA MFLOPS, save the earth by reducing CO2 emissions”. He caught everyone’s attention.

So, Hamid introduced the students to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and explained how engineering and fluid dynamics can contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The students connected the new information with their everyday life and wanted to better understand how these scientific areas relate to domestic heating and air conditioning systems. Additionally, inspired by their former teacher and his life choices, they wanted to know more about Hamid’s new career path and how they can apply for the MSCA scholarships of the Horizon Europe program.

Needless to say, the activity ended with the participants eating the cake…
