SUPER PhD Programme is part of the dissemination strategy within IP SUPER European Project. The programme has been prepared for the PhD students from the partner organizations and its main objective is to allow the students to leverage experience gathered from working in the SUPER project in their dissertations. Additional objective is internal and external dissemination of the project achievements among both partners and external parties.

The main activities of the PhD programme consist of:

• student exchange between SUPER Project Partners
• special PhD sessions collocated with major events of interest
• joint works on the publications

The programme is beneficial to all considered parties (i.e. the hosting institution, the mother institution, the students and the project itself).

Nevertheless, the most important beneficiary is the student as the PHD programme is a great chance to extend one’s capabilities and gather enormous amount of experience so crucial to achieve success in later career. The work done during the programme will surely lead to acquiring outstanding abilities in collaboration between different organizations spread all over Europe. This is asset that is not to be underestimated by any means. In addition, working with people coming from different backgrounds can greatly boost the effects of scientific work, as the diversity shall greatly enhance the view on variety of subjects, thus letting explore them more thoroughly. In case of exchange with enterprise partners the students can gain recognition among business practitioners which can help them in the future whether they find business practice more tempting than research career.

The mother institution’s greatest benefits lay in the knowledge transfer done by the students. More, the transfer is the chance to tighten the cooperation on scientific topics closely related to the SUPER  project and any aside yet important to the cooperating organizations. Publications created by the students will demonstrate that both their host and mother institutions are flexible and active members of scientific community. Joint work is great occasion for finding new domain of possible cooperating thus it helps in building strong relationship between partners possibly leading to the extension of cooperation in consortia for new European projects.

PhD Programme has its contribution to the general policy of European Union of investments in human resources. While not being in the People track of the 6th and 7th Framework Programme it levels up the expertise of the people involved from which their environment can take advantage.
