The PhD programme offers advanced training in the areas of nano- and bio-technologies, targeting frontier research in interdisciplinary and intersectorial fields in the frame of national and international projects and in synergies with industries. Individual training through advanced research will be provided to transfer sophisticated skills and state-of-the-art knowledge, competences and methodologies. Training and courses in complementary skills will also be part of the teaching programmes, spanning from presentation skills to fund raising, research management and IPR related aspects.
