Welcome to the new SKIES Training and Mentorship Programme! On this page you can register for this 12-months programme, aimed at providing you with the best hard and soft skills for your career as a PhD.
The programme starts with a two-day training at the world-class Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship in Rotterdam on 1 and 2 April 2022. This will be followed by several online skills workshops and the assignment of your personal mentor, who will help you answer questions about your best career options in- and outside academia.
The SKIES training will take you through the basics of open science, innovation and entrepreneurship in a two-day intensive course. There will be a focus on transferable skills and career development, and you will have the opportunity to talk with alumni working in various fields.
This programme has been developed by astronomers for astronomers, with expertise support from the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship and the dotSPACE Foundation.
