Collaborative Doctoral Education: University-Industry Partnerships

Event Description

During the recent decades, the role of higher education institutions has changed and collaboration with companies and industry has become among the major strategic priorities. To facilitate the connections of education, research, and innovation (the knowledge triangle) in the country, certain policy revisions should take place and a common framework should be ensured.

The university-industry partnership enables a more effective reproduction of high skills and ensures the knowledge development. To this end, a number of countries have introduced Industrial PhD programmes, as policy tools for linking the academic sector and industry. In this case doctoral students study and carry out research while being employed outside of academia. There are number of studies, arguing that industrial Ph.D. programmes may serve as a policy tool to safeguard university-industry collaboration and foster the transition to a knowledge-based service society, as well as improve productivity.

This webinar aims at exploring the practices of collaborative doctoral program organization, national policies and structures in particular. During the webinar, the best practices of the ARMDOCT and MODEST project partner EU countries will be presented, which will be followed by a discussion and Q&A session.
