The 7th (and last) Doctoral School of SmartGYsum project has run as planned. In the last day of the Doctoral School, we have the final presentation of the individual research projects developed by our ESRs. During this school, we have time to share our ideas interests and motivations. I hope that project has created a research team for long term cooperation.

The Seventh Doctoral School of the European Training Network project SMARTGYsum brings a new appointment among the four main network-wide training events that will be organized during this project. The school will continue ESRs’ participation in special courses, each giving a certificate worth 1 ECTS credit. It will also include social events to get to know each other among the consortium members, improve research integration between the project beneficiaries and partners and establish long-lasting collaboration between the ESRs. Visit the project website (https://www.smartgysum.eu/Home/Training), where you can get more information about the training activities in the project and the future doctoral schools. ESRs will also present their activities to the EU experts during a one-day evaluation meeting.

The doctoral school has been successful in delivering all the courses and activities as planned. We want to thank all the lecturers and students for their efforts and really good work. In the link you can see a video summarizing the doctoral school (recorded, edited and produced by Mohammadreza Azizi, one of our ESRs. I want to thank him for his enthusiasm and active participation.
