Introduction
The programme aims to train experts in biomolecular sciences and biotechnology, promoting a molecular approach to studying complex biological problems. It fosters collaboration between research institutes, schools, and companies while emphasizing internationalization. A key aspect involves students' direct involvement in experimental research, fostering scientific and organizational independence.
The doctoral programme aims to:
- Train scientific experts with excellent skills in the field of biomolecular sciences and biotechnology
- Promote a molecular approach to the study of complex biological problems in model organisms (prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, animals and plants)
- Encourage collaboration between research institutes, advanced training schools and companies in the fields of biomolecular sciences and biotechnology
- Encourage internationalisation by promoting international scientific collaborations, involving foreign lecturers, recruiting postgraduate students from abroad, and organising co-tutored dissertations involving study periods abroad
Training activities will be characterised by:
- A multidisciplinary approach
- Interactivity
- Links to the business world
- Internationalisation
A key element of the programme is the direct involvement of doctoral students in experimental research activities. Students will work full-time on a research project, providing critical insight and suggestions, and thereby acquiring scientific and organisational independence.
