The INVITE achievements in short

INVITE enabled the recruitment of 14 PhD candidates from all over the world, who carried out their doctoral studies at the University of Verona with periods spent abroad to complete their research training. In addition to the specific doctoral training,

INVITE offered a complementary programme of meta-disciplinary training aimed at developing and strengthening the cross-cutting skills of INVITE doctoral students and a specific training programme of “coaching, counselling and vocational training” aimed at making them reflect on their own professional profile, skills and resources, in order to optimise all job opportunities after their doctorate and develop a concrete action plan for the future, both within the academia and in the public and private sectors.

INVITE project has made it possible to train a new generation of researchers in a wide range of scientific disciplines and provide them with the ability to establish professional collaborations with academic institutions and the private sector at Italian and European level, also with a view to strengthening the university’s ability to host talented international researchers in a high-quality working environment.
