The 4th edition of the PhD FOR INNOVATION programme is coming up!
PhD FOR INNOVATION, promoted by SISSA, is a "training & learning by doing" programme that aims to match the best PhD skills with companies: the two languages of academia and business meet in the field, in order to create impact and concrete opportunities for the future of PhD students and young researchers.
After a first pilot edition in 2018 focused on the SMEs, the following two were opened to the six Italian Schools for Advanced Studies (last edition here).
In this new edition we will focus on SISSA's students and young researchers.
A call for expressions of interest is open in order to collect all the competences and, based on that, to find out the company or companies that will participate in the programme with their challenges.
The PURPOSE OF PhD FOR INNOVATION is to encourage, on the one hand, to promote 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 PhD groups that could work in synergy and that could apply their problem-solving skills, their methods and knowledge to punctual and actual innovation problems deriving from the real world. In terms of placement and talent valorisation, the opportunity to collaborate directly with the industry offers PhD students and young researchers the possibility to enrich their educational background by putting them in contact with new approaches, languages and points of view useful to enrich their career opportunities and in addition to increasing their visibility and letting them face with punctual and concrete challenges.
To express your interest in participating, please have a look at the form below and write to valorisation@sissa.it by the 28 March, 2025
