The academic community is about to experience a qualitative leap in training and research with the arrival of the Fourth Doctoral School of the SMARTGYsum project, scheduled from 28 January to 3 February. This event promises to be a key meeting point for students and professionals engaged in advanced research. The school will offer a series of specialised courses, each designed to provide ESR students with advanced knowledge and skills in their respective fields. The highlight of these courses is that they will all award ECTS credits, thus recognising the effort and dedication of the students on their way to academic excellence. In addition to the intense academic agenda, the school has organised several social events. These activities are designed to foster collaboration and networking among consortium members. This integrative approach is central to the SMARTGYsum project, as it seeks not only to impart knowledge, but also to build a strong network of practitioners and academics working together to advance European research. One of the most anticipated moments will be when the ESRs will present their research to a panel of EU experts. This presentation is not only an opportunity for students to receive valuable feedback from leaders in the field, but also a crucial moment to demonstrate the impact and relevance of their work in the European context. The Fourth SMARTGYsum Doctoral School represents an exceptional opportunity for students and academics looking to deepen their knowledge and expand their professional network.
