- problems in the training of PhD students have been improved through the creation of a DTC;
- how are PhD training programs developing and evolving at the DTC: who makes the decision and how the program is approved, the assessment of the effectiveness of the program (modules), interaction with internal and external partners, ensuring multidisciplinarity, etc.
- what are the requirements for the knowledge and skills of candidates who want to study at the DTC?
- management of the DTC and interaction with academic and industrial partners.
