At the end of the training course, doctoral students will have acquired high professional level knowledge regarding disciplines addressed during the Doctoral program and will be able to promote the advancement of scientific and technological knowledge, both in the academic and industrial fields. This will allow PhDs both access to a university career and placement in public and private research bodies, or in specialized companies (for example: pharmaceutical, biotechnological, nutraceutical companies and hospitals). The proposed training path and the international framework of the Doctorate will facilitate this process by providing students with the opportunity to access internationally prestigious post-doctoral scholarships, such as Marie-Curie grants and EMBO grants, or to national and international research programmes for young researchers (SIR, ERC starting grant, AIRC). Furthermore, the interaction and the study/research periods carried out at the partner companies will allow the PhD students to quickly come into contact with the industrial world and will provide a competitive advantage for possible hiring within the same companies. The Doctorate also lays the foundations for the possible creation of start-ups and spin-offs by young researchers. Finally, PhD students are regularly notified with calls for temporary or permanent positions issued by scientific associations, scientific journals, pharmaceutical industries and Italian and foreign universities. The implementation of a monitoring system for professional opportunities is envisaged and will be made available already during the PhD course.
