Self-awareness in humans is a natural tendency. This self-awareness is processed by the human brain based on various inputs received from the body's sensory systems. Mimicking this functionality on an electronic platform, also known as neuromorphic computing, can result in highly intelligent machines that could be utilized in many day-to-day activities. These activities range from autonomous cars to smart navigation assistants. However, neuromorphic computing faces several challenges, including energy efficiency, reliability, and security. In the REACT MSCA Doctoral Network project, we aim to develop a neuromorphic platform that is self-aware from the perspectives of energy efficiency, security, and reliability. The project seeks to train 15 early-stage researchers (ESRs) in interdisciplinary domains such as material science, device physics, computer architecture, hardware prototyping, compilers, simulation and emulation frameworks, security, reliability, and verifiability. The REACT doctoral network is a carefully designed training program where ESRs will receive mentorship from leading academics and industry partners. Additionally, ESRs will gain expertise in scientific writing, ethics, research principles, time management, and entrepreneurship. The REACT project is committed to enhancing the skills of ESRs through research-intensive training. By the end of the REACT project, we envision new opportunities for ESRs to thrive in their respective careers, with REACT serving as the ideal launchpad.
