Descripción del proyecto
Formaciones sobre cáncer y enfermedades neurológicas
En las últimas décadas se han producido avances notables en la comprensión y el tratamiento de las enfermedades. Los investigadores afrontan ahora al reto de fusionar distintos campos para abordar problemas sanitarios complejos, pero a menudo falta formación formal en este campo. Con el apoyo de las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, el proyecto INTERACT establecerá un programa de doctorado interdisciplinario que capacitará a los becarios para colaborar en todos los ámbitos de las CTIM con el fin de avanzar en soluciones sanitarias para el cáncer y las enfermedades neurológicas. Creará un modelo de formación en «ciencia de convergencia» en Dinamarca, desarrollará metodologías para la investigación interdisciplinar y fomentará aptitudes cruciales para diversas trayectorias profesionales. El proyecto INTERACT, uno de los primeros programas europeos de doctorado en «ciencia de convergencia», reforzará el papel de Europa al abordar necesidades sanitarias complejas.
Objetivo
The last decades are characterised by great breakthroughs in the understanding, diagnosing, and treating of many diseases. As fields advance, researchers are increasingly challenged to merge domains in order to tackle complex health-related societal issues. Thus, the next generation of researchers require strong collaboration skills and abilities to integrate knowledge from other disciplines into their research efforts. Despite this, formalised interdisciplinary research training falls short.
INTERACT is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme with the goal of inspiring and enabling fellows working seamless across STEM disciplines to advance health solutions in the fields of cancer and neurological diseases. Fellows will work on original PhD projects bridging across biology/biomedicine to chemistry, physics or engineering. We will also include science didactic research on interdisciplinary education at graduate level. INTERACT’s main goals are: 1) to create a model for structured ‘convergence science’ training in Denmark, 2) to discover methodologies and approaches supporting interdisciplinary STEM research, and 3) to nurture fellows’ entrepreneurial and transversal skills, important for their future intersectoral career options.
We will recruit 66 international fellows over three cohorts at two implementing partner organizations, the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark, ensuring fellow diversity through unbiased, transparent and merit-based selection. Selected fellows will be jointly supervised by an Interdisciplinary Supervisor Team, will undertake international secondments, obtain transferable skills training and career activities provided by other-sector partners. INTERACT will be one of the first European doctoral programmes on ‘convergence science’, strengthening Europe’s role at the forefront of interdisciplinary and intersectoral research training, with potential to solve complex unmet health needs.
