Join us for an enthusiastic afternoon where doctoral researchers, supervisors, professors and industry leaders come together to make valuable connections!
The purpose of the networking event is to enhance collaboration and create opportunities for doctoral researchers to move seamlessly from academia to industrial roles. This event is for the doctoral pilot of Intelligent working machines and for the doctoral pilot of Mathematics of Sensing, Imaging and Modelling and for PhD researchers in similar areas.
Date: February 5th at 12-16 (starting with lunch)
Programme:
- 12:00 Lunch
- 13:00 Opening: Introductions and instructions
- 14:00 Facilitated networking
- 14:50 Coffee
- 15:20 Facilitated networking
- 15:40 Free mingling
Place: Tampere-talo, Yliopistonkatu 55, Tampere
Participation fee: Companies free of charge, PhD researchers and supervisors 95€ (+5€ invoicing fee) (including lunch, refreshments and VAT)
For companies: Meet and connect with the next generation of talented professionals driving innovation in mathematical modelling and intelligent working machines (pilots described below). Advertise the company to doctoral researchers, and explore research collaboration, internships, or mentoring opportunities.
For PhD researchers: When you embark on your PhD journey, connecting with industry leaders early on can give you insights that will enrich your research and pave the way for a successful career in industry after graduation. In that case, you will connect with industry leaders and find companies related to your industry.
For supervisors: Support your doctoral researchers by facilitating contacts with relevant industry partners. Through cooperation, you will promote the success of doctoral training pilots and strengthen the foundations for continued government funding. Matchmaking can also increase cooperation between industry and academia.
See the pilot descriptions below.
Intelligent Working Machines
Intelligent Work Machines (IWM) Doctoral program is a multidisciplinary engineering program needed for intelligent machinery development. The doctoral training connects academic research excellence with a relevant industrial research and development challenges. In the program there are 31 positions in five Finnish universities: Aalto University, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, Tampere University, University of Oulu and University of Turku. Digitalization, electrification, and autonomy make the machine industry to be on the verge of a disruptive transformation towards intelligent machinery. The research develops and applies state-of-art methods, typically simulation or data-based, in robotics, mechatronics, machine design, machine dynamics, control theory, software technologies, real-time computing, human-machine interaction, communication, vehicle engineering, machine learning and robotic learning, and business models related to intelligent machines to improve safety as well as economic and environmental sustainability of work machines.
Mathematics of Sensing, Imaging and Modelling
Doctoral Education Pilot for Mathematics of Sensing, Imaging and Modelling (DREAM) belongs to the thematic field of the new Research Council of Finland’s Flagship of Advanced Mathematics for Sensing, Imaging and Modelling. It will train 100 doctors in seven Finnish universities: University of Eastern Finland (coordinating university), Aalto University, University of Helsinki, University of Jyväskylä, LUT University, University of Oulu and Tampere University. The expertise of the new doctors will include, for example, mathematical modelling, data processing, imaging, parameter estimation, inverse problems and applied mathematics within the fields, for example, medical imaging and technology, non-destructive testing, industrial process monitoring and remote sensing.
