Over the past decade, Molecular Communications (MC) has emerged as a new research area in Communications. The main idea behind MC is to exploit molecules as information carriers, as is done in many natural communication processes including inter- and intracellular communication, synaptic communication, quorum sensing, and insect communication, to communicate in environments and with objects/organisms that are not suitable for conventional electromagnetic wave based communication systems. Synthetic MC systems are expected to enable new disruptive medical, environmental, and industrial applications. The objective of the proposed research training group "Synthetic Molecular Communication Across Different Scales: From Theory to Experiments (SyMoCADS)" is to establish the first structured doctoral training program on MC worldwide and to equip the participating doctoral students with the knowledge and skill set needed to advance this emerging interdisciplinary field of research. To this end, a multi-facetted research and qualification program will be established. To balance the inherent heterogeneity of the overall topic and the need for close interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle MC research problems, the doctoral research projects are organized in three clusters (C1-C3): C1: MC based design, monitoring, and control of bioprocesses; C2: MC based modelling, analysis, and design of magnetic nanoparticle steering systems; C3: Models, designs, and system architectures for airborne MC. Each cluster investigates an important and challenging overarching research problem, whose conceptual, communication-theoretical, and experimental aspects are tackled synergistically in three doctoral projects. This promotes close interdisciplinary collaboration between the doctoral students within each cluster, which constitutes a vital part of their training. The different clusters reflect the heterogeneity of MC in terms of length scales, particle transport mechanisms, propagation environments, communication tasks, experimental techniques, and application domains. This provides the opportunity to investigate the implications of these differences for MC analysis, modelling, and simulation techniques as well as for the embedding of information into molecular signals. The conceptual and methodical support needed for addressing these cross-cluster research questions, exploiting cross-cluster synergies, and fostering cross-cluster collaboration will be provided by a postdoctoral project. SyMoCADS is led by an interdisciplinary team of researchers who were carefully selected to foster fundamental theoretical and experimental contributions to each of the three cluster topics and the general field of MC.

在过去的十年中，分子通信（MC）已经成为通信领域的一个新的研究领域。MC背后的主要思想是利用分子作为信息载体，正如在许多自然通信过程中所做的那样，包括细胞间和细胞内通信，突触通信，群体感应和昆虫通信，以在环境中通信，并与不适合传统的基于电磁波的通信系统的物体/生物体通信。合成MC系统有望实现新的颠覆性医疗、环境和工业应用。拟议的研究培训组“不同规模的合成分子通信：从理论到实验（SyMoCADS）”的目标是建立全球首个结构化的MC博士培训计划，并为参与的博士生提供推进这一新兴跨学科研究领域所需的知识和技能。为此，将建立一个多方面的研究和资格认证计划。为了平衡整体主题的内在异质性和解决MC研究问题的密切跨学科合作的需要，博士研究项目分为三个集群（C1-C3）：C1：基于MC的生物过程设计，监测和控制; C2：基于MC的建模，分析和磁性纳米粒子转向系统的设计; C3：机载MC的模型、设计和系统体系结构。每个集群调查一个重要的和具有挑战性的总体研究问题，其概念，通信理论和实验方面在三个博士项目中协同解决。这促进了每个集群内博士生之间的密切跨学科合作，这是他们培训的重要组成部分。不同的集群反映了MC在长度尺度，粒子传输机制，传播环境，通信任务，实验技术和应用领域方面的异质性。这提供了机会，调查这些差异的MC分析，建模和模拟技术的影响，以及嵌入到分子信号的信息。解决这些跨集群的研究问题，利用跨集群的协同作用，并促进跨集群的合作所需的概念和方法的支持将由博士后项目提供。SyMoCADS由一个跨学科的研究人员团队领导，他们经过精心挑选，为三个集群主题和MC的一般领域做出了基础理论和实验贡献。
