OUR MISSION
Internationalization and innovation are the challenges that nowadays companies are facing, therefore there is a huge need to access to knowledge and know-how from the research world. However, the attempt to bring together the university and industry structures often incurs into the difficulty of aligning very different objectives and methods.
If we look directly at individuals, at single researchers, who are the academic knowledge repositories, it turns out, instead, that there is a large convergence space. Industry can take advantage of the innovative potential of researchers, who need to discover new ideas and professional directions outside of the traditional academic routes, since the university is no longer able to offer to all of them realistic job prospects.
FYD arises from this convergence of needs, it is an intelligent matching portal designed specifically in order to bring out the value of research profiles in a corporate context. The aim is to create a flexible, quick and convenient system to bring researchers in all sizes organizations and companies, helping them in their professional development and at the same time making them the technology transfer holders.
What is a PhD?
The acronym PhD stands forPhilosophiae Doctor, a traditional title gained by researchers of any disciplines.
The researcher doctorate, or PhD, is the highest academic degree and is awarded considering the results of a typical research project lasting three or four years, supervised by an experienced researcher.
During the project, the candidate is expected to demonstrate through its work and its own research to carry out research activities on a professional level.
After receiving his PhD, the former candidate (now PhD) is a fully-fledged part of the academic community as a junior researcher.
