An exciting experience for Ph D students 

This initiative offers a platform for dialogue between academia and industry, with the goal of fostering industrial innovation and involving PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in research activities beyond the academic environment. Participating companies will propose compelling challenges, and students will have two days to develop innovative solutions, which will then be discussed directly with the proposing companies. 

A limited number of places is available, some with financial support. Enroll as soon as possible. 

Deadline for applications: June 20, 2025

Acceptance of the application: June 25, 2025

Participation is free, but registration is mandatory. Places are limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots are filled. A limited number of participants may receive funding, which includes accommodation in university residences. Lunches will also be provided to all participants.

Participants will receive a certificate of attendance, which may be credited in many doctoral programs.
