Career Opportunities
With a genesis in excellence and scientific rigor based on the business and industrial context, DBI reinforces the link between the needs of the labor market, and above all, societal, and the various agents for innovation and research. An example of this is the growing relevance of the European Union University-Business Cooperation theme as a pillar for higher education institutions, which is fully addressed with and in a doctoral program involved in societal reality, promoting contextualized and applied innovation.
Notice that, in the DBI, teachers and researchers from diverse fields of science, such as engineering, technology, business science and design, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship, support and guide students to achieve useful business results. In this sense, theoretical learning will be directly linked to practical application.
The DBI will
- (i) provide PhD students with advanced innovation training to be applied in a business environment, duly anchored on scientifically proven theoretical bases;
- (ii) enable a match between the training provided by the course and the initial training of doctoral students through the areas of expertise to be developed in the thesis;
- (iii) encourage specialized innovation training that values and promotes dialogue and interdisciplinary science;
- (iv) foster a strong collaborative attitude among all those involved in the course as well as with other partners that may be added.
