DOCTORATES WITH INSTITUTIONS AND COMPANIES: an activating tool for collaborations and connections between companies and academia

A privileged tool for scientific collaboration between research and business for innovation and sustainability.

The PNRR is an important funding instrument that aims to support the country's recovery and growth through investments in various sectors, including research and development. In this context, Spoke 2 is a reference point for connecting the worlds of research and business, recognising the importance of funding to support PhD scholarships.
On the 22nd of February 2023, at the Grugliasco Campus (TO), the University of Turin organised the 'Doctorates and Industry' event, aimed at companies interested in collaborating with the university and learning more about the opportunities offered by PhDs at the Piedmontese university. The meeting was attended by the referee professors of the various PhD courses, as well as numerous entrepreneurs. During the event, useful information was provided on the financing of PhD scholarships through PNRR funds, which could be used to co-finance these training and research opportunities. The funding of a PhD scholarship by a company or institution allows the PhD student to work closely with the funding institution or company, having access to laboratories and contacts with researchers at the university. Interested parties can find further information on the dedicated page on the University of Turin's portal.
