Open Call for 5 PhD Candidates CORAL - ITN Training on 3rd Coral School in Sicily 03 – 07.07.2023
Course description:
CORAL-ITN invites five PhD Candidates to join the CORAL-ITN Training 03 – 7 July 2023 in Petralia Sottana, Italy.
The 3rd CORAL School marks the start of the analytical stage of the ESR projects where our team will be working on gathering and correlating insights while making sense of the different data collected.
Organized by DAStU – Politecnico of Milan, the School will be held at Petralia Sottana, Metropolitan City of Palermo, on the island of Sicily, Southern Italy.
ESRs and invited PhD candidates will engage with regional policy debates regarding regional development, smart specialization strategies as well as remote working practices, and digital nomadism. Keynote speeches and field visits will help participants immerse into the aforementioned topics while working on the synthesis of their preliminary findings.
Selected applicants will be paired with CORAL-ITN Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) and senior researchers and will participate in a series of events designed to facilitate intellectual engagement, offer training on research methods and promote peer and professional support.
