The BoostUrCAreer Doctoral Programme, co-funded by Marie Sklodowka-Curie Actions, the Region Sud- Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and the Idex UCAJedi, fostered interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international experiences with the objective of contributing to creating a new generation of PhDs equipped for both academic and non-academic careers in e-health and inclined to the great research and innovation challenges of tomorrow.
The project achieved the following objectives:
• Implementing a multidisciplinary, innovative and excellent doctoral research training to attract early-stage researchers with high academic and innovative potentials
• Enhance employability and support doctoral candidates in the development of their career, through the implementation of the "Create your future" pathway
• Create and test a set of procedures and best practices, in coherence with the HRS4R label, aimed at attracting talented and promising young international researchers to Université Côte D'Azur and to the French Riviera
• Support interdisciplinary research efforts to address societal challenges and issues experienced by our territory and beyond
The project provided 14 talented and promising young international researchers the opportunity to receive a unique doctoral training in e-health at Université Côte d'Azur. It also contributed at larger scale to improve doctoral training and boosted the sharing of procedure and best practices which facilitate and optimize career development of the ESRs of the university.
