PhD FOR INNOVATION, promoted by SISSA, is the programme that aims matching best skills with companies: the two languages, academia and business, will meet in the field for impact creation, with the aim of creating concrete opportunities for the future of the PhD students.
On the one hand, PhD students from the six Schools of Excellence and their talents, on the other hand, innovative companies from the national territory, meet in a "training & learning by doing" programme.
A call for ideas that gathers the innovation needs of the participating companies. Students can register in teams to respond to the challenges. The company and the team will work together to develop an innovation project.
