Introduction
PhD in Nanotechnology
The study program is based on a systemic, integrated concept of managing industrial activities and processes in market economy conditions. As a balanced interconnection of knowledge of industrial economics and management, advanced quality management and intelligent control systems with technical and technological knowledge, the study program is oriented mainly to production systems of the metallurgical, chemical and engineering industries.
The main target is to contribute to improve conditions for education related to research, development, and innovations in the field of Nanotechnology and related increase of quality and enhancement of human resources. Proposed study program attempts to enhance of education quality in doctoral study to a level comparable with leading European and world universities and to reach international competitiveness in the frame of European and worldwide research. The competitiveness will be reached in the doctoral study program itself and also the program graduands - internal researchers with specialization in Nanotechnology. The way to reach the target is a formation of the research-oriented doctoral study program Nanotechnology - Cotutelle, which is a concept characterized by double international supervision of dissertation thesis completed by obtaining of two doctoral degrees - from VSB-TUO and from foreign university. The organization of the study will contribute to fulfill the above mentioned project target. The foreign specialist from Europe and world universities will be involved in formation of the study program. The long-term research stays in foreign universities will reflect new requirements of applied research to graduands of the research oriented study program and their experience in solution of scientific and research tasks.
