strong interaction industry-research centres-academia is looked for
strong interaction industry-research centres-academia is looked for
relevant university partners
relevant industrial partners and active involvement
industrial PhD’s (now emphasized with EID)
clearly stipulated training/ToK programme and strong transferable skills programme via Doctoral School and applied training via on site industry training
‘clearly’ and ‘detailed’, yet sufficient flexibility in view of Fellow’s profile/training needs (PhD research is difficult to plan)
training of the Fellow is a crucial project outcome
organizations and Fellows can get to know each other without long term commitments often resulting in a successful continuation
added value of inter-sectoral PhD’s is strongly acknowledged by both sectors
mobility of researchers opportunities for both Fellows and organizations
