Completed workshop “Career Prospects in Industry & Academia”

Transferable skills workshop exploring career prospects open to ESRs after their PhD education, in the fields of industry (start-up, SME, large companies), academia and patent law.

Determine research secondments

Research secondments are “needs” driven and to be defined by the beginning of the 3rd year at the latest, and concern a stay of 1 – 3 months at one of the partners working on a similar topic. The aim is to complement the PhD thesis with expertise from one of the ETN partners and culminating ideally in a joint publication.
