HOW IT WORKS
The Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Joint European Doctorate NITROS projects will guide 12 Early Stage Researchers through a Double PhD program. The Consortium of Universities is composed by some of the most important players on rotorcraft engineering training and research at European level: Politecnico di Milano, Technische Universiteit Delft, University of Glasgow, University of Liverpool.
Training of ESRs is aimed at developing them as independent scientists, with high level in:
University technical lectures
Structured training will strengthen the knowledge of the fellows on fundamental subjects, exploiting lectures and laboratories offered by the university network
Training on transferable skills
The training of the fellows will enhance their ability to manage research and innovation, and support them to develop entrepreneurship. Generic skills like communication, time management and development of a professional profile are also emphasized and supported
Project Working Groups
Work in small teams. Training on: leadership, entrepreneurial capabilities, time management, organization skills, working to deadlines, decision making and motivating people through practical experience
Training Summer schools
Develop an up-to-date knowledge of the state of the art in all the underpinning technical areas
Webinars
Allow the ESRs to meet renewed experts in the field or rotorcraft design and sflight safety
Secondments to major industrial partners
Knowledge exchange and development of complementary skills
Open Workshops
Develop presentation, communication and team-work skills
