Project description
Finland’s LUT University pairs with MSCA COFUND
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND action provides co-funding mechanisms to spread best practices by promoting high standards and excellent working conditions. The MSCA project SEED – for Systems and Engineering Science Doctorate – is supporting LUT University in Finland to advance its offerings in doctoral education. The programme builds on a versatile scholar programme, a systematic secondment scheme, and detailed communication, dissemination and exploitation measures. The systematic secondment scheme builds on each doctoral candidate having an academic secondment in a European or international university of high standing and excellence and a non-academic secondment in industry in Finland. During the SEED programme, LUT will develop more systematic and transparent selection processes, promote equal opportunities, and improve the quality of supervision and management of doctoral education.
Objective
LUT University is developing doctoral education with the MSCA COFUND Systems and Engineering Science Doctorate (SEED) programme for the duration of 60 months with 13 Doctoral Candidates (DC). The programme builds on a versatile scholar programme, a systematic secondment scheme and detailed communication, dissemination and exploitation measures. The systematic secondment scheme builds on each DC having an academic secondment in a European or international university of high standing and excellence and a non-academic secondment in industry in Finland. The fields of study and research are software engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering & management (IEM), computational engineering, applied mathematics and technical physics.
LUT is the main beneficiary and we have 20 excellent associated partner organisations committed to hosting the DCs during their secondments. During the SEED programme we will develop more systematic and transparent selection processes for DCs, promote equal opportunities, and improve the quality of supervision and management of doctoral education. This all leads to a doctoral training programme of higher quality career guidance and more systematic skill development increasing the career prospects of the DCs in both academic and non-academic environments.
