«The PhD students placement in enterprise could be one of the ways by which Europe could achieve objectives regarding innovation, economic development and sustainable progress» (EUA, 2007; UK Grad Programme, 2008; ERA, 2008).
This project aims to enhance the employability of PhD students in technical-scientific fields, through development, testing and exploitation of: training modules for the improvement of transversal skills, which will develop the profile of a new industrial researcher who is able to innovate “inside the enterprise” or “by setting up his/her own businesses”; models for the integration and coordination of several services currently fragmented in TTOs/KTOs and University Career Centres, in order to allow career and information services to fit better with the specific needs of students of the third cycle.
