The course also allows to improve reciprocal knowledge and potential networking. By involving participants at different stages of their academic experiences, the seminar offers the opportunity to develop the skills of PhD students in discussing and constructively contributing to each other research, both during the formal sessions and in successive informal meetings.

Obiettivi formativi
