Extensive Training Programme

To meet the 3 ROs, we plan an extensive training programme (WP6) that will equip the DCs with knowledge and techniques to enable a Biocrystallisation Infrastructure. In the short term, the training programme will empower them to achieve the goals formulated in their PhD projects and maximise the dissemination and exploitation of their research results (WP5). In the long term, the integrated Training-Research-Exploitation programme will prepare them to become leading experts in the Biomanufacturing research and industrial field.

Training Events

Training through research: Each DC will carry out a PhD project at an excellent university. Secondments and Progress Workshops will stimulate international, inter-sectoral, and interdisciplinary collaboration and research exchange.

Training through Advanced Scientific Courses: DCs will be trained through interactive and interdisciplinary courses in biocrystallisation, providing them with a solid background in biochemistry, biotechnology/bioprocessing, crystallisation science, chemical and process engineering, and advanced modelling. DCs will complement their training by attending courses at the local research school.

Transferable Skills Training: DCs will be trained in outreach and public engagement, safety and regulatory implications of all activities in research and industry, translating ideas into career opportunities at the interface of academia and industry, communication, teamwork, entrepreneurship, project management, intellectual property rights (IPR), ethics, and standardisation.
