Training

The SYNSENSO doctoral training timeline

The main objective of the SYNSENSO intersectoral training programme is to provide all DCs with unique multidisciplinary scientific training, as well as comprehensive transferable and business training skills to build them into excellent, entrepreneurial, responsible, and collaborative scientists.

Complementing each individual DC project and local training initiatives, the training activities across the network are designed to foster as much collaboration, knowledge exchange and skill development as possible within the scope of the project.
