The Disciplines of the Department

And one of the most complete, for whatconcerns Scientific Disciplines for our sector

ABC-Dept comes from a fusion

The department is the result of a complex fusion process among different scientific groups

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

1. A PhD holder knows how to find answers

If you are trained to identifyand solve problems, you are trained for decision-making:

• critical thinking

• complex problem solving

Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over OtherJob Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com

http://www.cheekyscientist.com/

2. A PhD holder is not frightenedhe/she learns from failures



3. A PhD holder is not easily frightened


They have been tempered in uncertaintyand fully experienced with negative bosses)


4. A PhD holder is taught (tempered) for high level communication


You don’t just regurgitate information, you create it.


5. A PhD holder is taught (tempered) to compete and to cooperate



6. PhD holder’s talent is innovation[progressive&disruptive innovation]

«les docteurs … peuvent apporter “les innovations de rupture” qui feront lesemplois et la croissance de demain» M.C. Corbier, LesEcho.fr 12/11/14

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 influentialand experts and to join, locally too, with stakeholders and their representative. Thesenetworks are less easily ACCESSIBLE by industrial and social parties

8. PhD holders have knowledge, experienceand creativity to use it with high profit

http://neo-mahakala-108.deviantart.com/

9. The three years costs to grow PhD holdersare 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 theirare helped in this first task, the quicker their results come … do you have any question?

10. PhD training cost is lowbut it needs medium term programs

Salzburg Principles:• N.3 Diversity• N.6 Critical Mass• N.8 Innovative interdisciplinar

General Presentation

ABC-PhD Program has been established in 2012, following the complete reorganization of the area of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering in one only Department.

It results as merge of the following four PhD Programs:

– Architectural Composition

– Building Systems Engineering

– Design and Technologies Exploitation for the Cultural Heritage

– Technology and Design for Environment and Building

These four programs have been joined by a group of researchers from a fifth one: the PhD Program in Structural Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering.

All these Programs have been separately active since 1990, mainly focussing on one only discipline. Their merge was aimed at optimizing the capability of the Department in facing and solving complex training needs, with a single organizational unit.

Our Vision

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 complexquestions in complex contextsand to innovate

Our Vision

We aim to become – in few years – the Italian Point of Referencefor 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

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

1 – Doctoral Candidates are trainedproducing 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]

2 – PhD candidates are trained asindependent (mentored) researchers

Mentors (tutor, supervisor, advisor) are counsellors, trainers, bosses , and theirqualities are:

– Credibility– Integrity– Confidence– Cooperation

Mentorship means to involve, to offeropportunities, also for learning from errors and bearing responsibilities.

Pablo E. Fabisch -http://paesmem.stanford.edu/html/proceedings_4.html

[Salzburg Principles, N.4: Early Stage Researchers, and N.5, The crucial role of supervision …]

http://paesmem.stanford.edu/html/proceedings_4.html

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 basicskills (e.g. research management and communication) and to be updated

4 – PhD candidates are continuouslyreviewed 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]

5 – Strong relations with otherresearchers in the global network

There are thousands of researchers in Europe, hundrieds of thousands in the world: the most of them works on similarprojects and topics.

http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd112006s.gif

[Salzburg Principles, N.9, Increasing mobility]

6 – A management system designedto improve our performances

[Salzburg Recommendation 2.7, Quality and accountability]

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 researchquestions.

The Program adds a good numberof strategic and specialistic coursesand research workshops about ourmain topics

[Salzburg Principles, N.3: Diversity]

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 researchof the compromise among youngerspotential, personal motivation and proved competencies.

[Salzburg Recommendation 2.2, Recruitment, admission and status]

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 asearly stage researchers.]

[Salzburg Reccomendation 2.4, The outcome of their research must be original and suitable for dissemination within the scientific community]

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 …

What do we want?

FIRST: to make research offer nearer to (synchronized with) the research demand

DEMAND

OFFER

We train people to research+

The research produced in their training

But we risk that nobody ask for themnor their early products, because no demand is linked to their offer


DEMAND

OFFER

We must go nearer to stakeholdersand let (help) them to express their demand to us


DEMAND

OFFER

Moreover, we must be ableto have a bigger demand !!

SECOND: to give our value back to ourCountry that supports (partly) PhD Programs

We are a 1HUNDRIED Candidates program.

The cost of our PhD Program is 2,0 M€/y and the Country gives us resources only for, about, 1/3 of it.

We need to find 2/3 of the budget each year, but, from another point of view, we are able to spend1/3 of our budget on research and training projectsthat generate value for us as well as for others(industry, administrations or other entities).

THIRD: to give our Candidatesthe best chances for their future

Bjørn T. Asheim (Stavanger/Lund/Oslo, Norway) Universities, regions and doctoral education, EUA-CDE workshop Aix-Marseille, January 2015)

“The expansion of PhD programs implies

that the DOCTORS are not only for

academia but also for and private and public

organisations that need research based

knowledge”.

This make “… doctoral education … a

resource in promoting regional development”

Such a situation is the best way to value all them
