Purpose

The purpose of this Call is to encourage, on one hand, the collaboration between companies and scientific research in the mechanism of knowledge transfer and production, and, on the other hand, to facilitate the constitution of interdisciplinary and non-interdisciplinary postDoc and PhD groups that could work in synergy and that could apply their problem solving skills and their methods and knowledge to punctual and actual innovation problems deriving from the real world.

Progetto pilota ideato e finanziato dalla SISSA –  in collaborazione con Confindustria VG – che per la prima volta in Italia intende coinvolgere specificatamente e sinergicamente giovani ricercatori SISSA e Piccole e Medie Imprese permettendo a queste ultime di entrare in contatto – a costo zero - con il mondo della ricerca e con le opportunità che essa può offrire a supporto della loro competitività e nel contempo cercare di dare soluzione – sempre a costo zero -  a loro problematiche tecniche reali e concrete.
