The EIT Manufacturing Doctoral School<\/strong><\/a> supports PhD students in transforming their research results or patents into marketable solutions.<\/p>\n

The EIT Doctoral School is FREE for FEUP PhD students<\/strong>, making it an excellent opportunity for them to pursue their entrepreneurial and research ambitions.<\/p>\n

The University of Porto<\/strong>, stands as one of the founding members of the EIT Manufacturing Doctoral School. This innovative doctoral program empowers PhD students to transform their research findings into groundbreaking marketable solutions, fostering a thriving ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship within the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n

The programme involves PhD students from EIT-Manufacturing partner universities\u00a0and may include collaboration with industry partners<\/a> from the EIT Manufacturing community which help create an industrial doctorate position. These partners come from a variety of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, process industry, machinery and equipment, electronics, Information and Communication Technologies or medical technologies.<\/p>\n

The EIT Manufacturing Doctoral School is a complementary<\/strong> programme on top of the PhD studies<\/strong>. This Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) programme from us is a<\/span>n international two-year education focused on manufacturing innovation and entrepreneurship<\/strong>. The educational experience is enriched through five months, in which students are given the opportunity to move in academic and non-academic environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Programme overview<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

The I&E programme is categorised into 2 tracks allowing PhD students follow the track that is most suitable for their professional career. Our selection committee will identify the suitable track based on your application.<\/p>\n

In both the tracks, students focus on learning \u201cHow to Develop a Business Idea\u201d<\/strong>, in the first year and in the second year, they delve into \u201cHow to Validate a Business Idea and Prepare for a Launch\u201d<\/strong>. What differentiates the tracks is that, in the Business Creation track, students will have a 1-to-1 mentoring session from our experts who will assist you in every step of your business creation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
