The individually tailored training activities offered at the recruiting university are: regular academic courses, courses in complementary skills, supervision of individual research projects, and a secondment program.

Each ESR will do at least one academic secondment for collaboration with another ESR in an already defined joint research project that will be part of both ESRs’ PhD theses. The secondment will provide multidisciplinary training in new academic disciplines, including academic courses as well as courses in transferable and complementary skills, offered as part of the local PhD programme. Each ESR will do at least one industrial secondment to an industrial partner, with the aim of applying and implementing research results, and to receive intersectoral training in an industrial and commercial setting.
