The LeidenForce project is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN), the European Union's reference programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training #HorizonEurope
We aim to comprehensively study the #LeidenfrostEffect and propose novel applications, either to mitigate its adverse effects or leverage its advantages.

Our research objectives:
*Hift the fundamental understanding of the transition to the Leidenfrost state
*0ptimize the heat transfer between the droplet and the substrate
*Utilize the isolated droplet to manipulate small amounts of liquid in unconventional scenarios
*Harness the vapor film to capture or confine particles using an external electrical field.

Practical implications:
*Aviation (with AIRBUS)
*Metallurgy (with CRM)
*Space exploration (with Centre Spatial de Liège)
*Cryogeny and maniputaion of propellant
