Description du projet
Formation sur le cancer et les maladies neurologiques
Les dernières décennies ont été marquées par des avancées significatives dans la compréhension et le traitement de différentes maladies. Les chercheurs sont aujourd’hui confrontés au défi de fusionner plusieurs domaines pour s’attaquer à des questions de santé complexes, mais la formation formelle dans ce domaine fait souvent défaut. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), le projet INTERACT mettra en place un programme doctoral interdisciplinaire qui permettra aux boursiers de collaborer dans les domaines des STIM afin de faire progresser les solutions de santé pour le cancer et les maladies neurologiques. Il créera un modèle de formation à la «science de la convergence» au Danemark, développera des méthodologies de recherche interdisciplinaire et favorisera l’acquisition de compétences cruciales pour diverses carrières. INTERACT, l’un des premiers programmes européens de doctorat en «sciences de la convergence», renforcera le rôle de l’Europe dans la prise en charge des besoins complexes en matière de santé.
Objectif
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.
