8. Our Mission
to train future researchers
for the extensive field of
Architecture, Built
Environment and
Construction Engineering.
Trained to face complex
questions in complex contexts
Trained to innovate

9. Our Vision (1)
Our future researchers are
self-sufficient, independent
“actors”, able to gain an
outstanding position at an
international level:
as scientist/academic
as intellectuals
as professionals
as entrepreneurs
Trained to face complex
questions in complex contexts
and to innovate

10. Our Vision (2)
We aim to become – in few years
– the Italian Point of Reference
for training experts in all the most
critical subjects related to the
sustainable (environmental,
economical, social and cultural
sustainability) transformation
and management of the Built
Environment ecosystem

34. Our principles (the ten pillars)
of a competitive, attractive, well working PhD Program

35. 1 – Doctoral Candidates are trained
producing original research
Research training is through research itself, working with other
researchers, mainly in the ABC Department.
Candidate’s activity is embedded in our institutional activity
(Sistematica Collaborazione all’interno in programmi di ricerca
dipartimentali)
[Salzburg Principles, 1 and 2]

36. 2 – PhD candidates are trained as
independent (mentored) researchers
Mentors (tutor, supervisor, advisor) are
counsellors, trainers, bosses , and their
qualities are:
– Credibility
– Integrity
– Confidence
– Cooperation
Mentorship means to involve, to offer
opportunities, also for learning from
errors and bearing responsibilities.
Pablo E. Fabisch -
http://paesmem.stanford.edu/html/proceed
ings_4.html
[Salzburg Principles, N.4: Early Stage Researchers, and N.5, The
crucial role of supervision …]

37. 3 – PhD training is tailored on the
Candidate and his/her objectives
Each Candidate defines, with the Tutor
his/her Research and Training Plan
(R&Tplan):
– A lot of research activity about a
chosen topic (66-85%).
– Some formal training (few), to
gain a common starting level and
to fill possible gaps, to get basic
skills (e.g. research management
and communication) and to be
updated

38. 4 – PhD candidates are continuously
reviewed and assessed
ABC-PhD: study + work + internal review and external assessment
– Mentorship comes together with systematic review (6
Milestones) and independent assessment (by external
experts) of candidate’s projects and products
– Results are planned and expected from the first year
+
[Salzburg Principles, N.5, The crucial role of supervision and assessment]

39. 5 – Strong relations with other
researchers in the global network
There are thousands of researchers in Europe, hundrieds of
thousands in the world: the most of them works on similar
projects and topics.
http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd112006s.gif
[Salzburg Principles, N.9, Increasing mobility]

40. 6 – A management system designed
to improve our performances
[Salzburg Recommendation 2.7, Quality and accountability]

41. 7 – High level and wide disciplinar
spectrum doctoral training offer
The whole PhD School offers a
complex and wide set of courses on
may topics and disciplines, with the
best international teachers and
about the most actual research
questions.
The Program adds a good number
of strategic and specialistic courses
and research workshops about our
main topics
[Salzburg Principles, N.3: Diversity]

42. 8 – An effective recruitment process
1. Open, efficient, transparent and
supportive recruitment procedures ,
internationally comparable and
tailored to the advertised positions.
2. A selection based on the research
of the compromise among youngers
potential, personal motivation and
proved competencies.
[Salzburg Recommendation 2.2,
Recruitment, admission and status]

43. 9 – Publishing PhD (but not too much)
PhD Candidates are directly involved in active research. Their average number of peer-
reviewed publications during the PhD is about 2,0. We aim to grow a lot in the future:
not a lot in number, in quality.
Alternative to publication: PATENT!
[Salzburg Principles, N.4: Doctoral Candidates as
early stage researchers.]
[Salzburg Reccomendation 2.4, The outcome of
their research must be original and suitable for
dissemination within the scientific community]

44. 10 – Strong relation with stakeholders
Candidate’s activity is embedded in the institutional activity of
the ABC Department, that is defined in a strong relation with
stakeholders. Moreover, Candidates are strongly encouraged to
stay in relation with stakeholders …
OPEN INNOVATION
Inside-out
Outside-in
knowledge
resources
skills
ideas

5. Exposure to industry and Interface with the labour market

45. 10 – Strong relation with stakeholders
Candidate’s activity is embedded in the institutional activity of
the ABC Department, that is defined in a strong relation with
stakeholders. Moreover, Candidates are strongly encouraged to
stay in relation with stakeholders …

46. … to open the door and look around
Published by AAAS, ILLUSTRATION: ROBERT NEUBECKER
… to open the door and look around
… as soon as possible, before ending your PhD and your scholarship!

47. WE ARE A GREAT STRUCTURE,
with a rich scientific legacy
WE WANT to be competitive
and attractive (investors and
best students)
WE WANT to be (to give back)
a value for our COUNTRY
In conclusion:
EC Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training in EU:
6. Attractiveness of the research profession

48. motivated
We look for …

49. open minded
We look for …

50. international
We look for …

51. cut for research
(foolish&curious)
We look for …

52. Eager to innovate
(more foolish, more curious)
We look for …

53. We look for the BEST
PhD Candidates to be trained
in/for the wide fields of
Architecture
Built Environment
and Construction Engineering

54. Who is the PhD holder?
The ten “doctoral plus”

55. 1. A PhD holder knows how to find answers
If you are trained to identify
and solve problems, you are
trained for decision-making:
• critical thinking
• complex problem solving
Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over Other
Job Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com

56. 2. A PhD holder is not easily frightened:
he/she learns from failures …
Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over Other
Job Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com

57. 2. A PhD holder is not easily frightened
He is tempered in uncertainty …
Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over Other
Job Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com
… and fully experienced with negative bosses

58. 3. A PhD holder is taught (tempered)
for high level communication
Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over Other
Job Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com
You don’t just regurgitate information, you create it.

59. 4. A PhD holder is taught (tempered)
to compete and to cooperate
Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over Other
Job Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com

60. 5. A PhD holder is adaptable to change
(technological, social, organizational)
… he/she is trained to generate the change and often is
already beyond the chance that is to come

61. 6. PhD holder’s talent is innovation
[progressive&disruptive innovation]
«les docteurs … peuvent apporter “les innovations de rupture” qui feront les
emplois et la croissance de demain» M.C. Corbier, LesEcho.fr 12/11/14

62. 7. PhD holders share a valuable set of
relations with experts and stakeholders
PhD Doctors are requested to build relations at a global level with the most influential
and experts and to join, locally too, with stakeholders and their representative. These
networks are less easily ACCESSIBLE by industrial and social parties

63. 8. PhD holders have knowledge, experience
and creativity to use it with high profit

64. 9. The three years costs to grow PhD holders
are payed back by their three year work
PhD Candidates, during their first year are mostly devoted to understand the questions to
face and to complete their knowledge. But they start working ASAP … and the more their
are helped in this first task, the quicker their results come … do you have any question?
three year costs may be payed
bach before than three year

65. 10. PhD training cost is low
but it needs medium term programs
