09:00 - 09:20
In today's academic landscape, achieving excellence in doctoral research requires embracing two key trends: interdisciplinary approaches and international collaboration. These emerging norms are transforming how we overcome complex challenges, combining insights from diverse fields of science and technology while fostering multi- and inter-national partnerships. In this talk, we'll explore how these elements are redefining the standards of doctoral research to enhance the quality and impact of scholar work across emerging doctoral programs and their effects on research outcomes.

09:20 - 09:35
Despite its youth, the National Doctorate in Space Science and Technology has exponentially increased its impact and internationalization in the space science community. This growth has occurred despite the challenges and issues faced by students during the first academic year of the PhD program. Nowadays we can recognize the national doctorate to be present in most of the biggest international collaborations and experiments related to the space science. In this talk, we will briefly summarize how the DN-SST has evolved over the past year, providing an overview of the most significant space science-related experiments and collaborations involving the PhD candidates. We will also discuss the scientific impact and motivations behind these projects, highlighting the program’s contributions to advancing space research and innovation.
