NextBase aims at producing six highly employable PhD graduates expert in the field of 3d metal-catalytic methodologies for the synthesis of fine chemicals/APIs/API ingredients, who are also aware of the importance of sustainability issues in chemical synthesis.
The DCs will experience a vivid and stimulating research environment in which the academic and the industrial approach to research are highly integrated, owing to a network of intersectoral and transnational secondments which will expose them to academic and industrial settings.
Core research skills, acquired ‘on the job’ while carrying out the research projects, which include: i) deep scientific knowledge on the project topic and on its scientific area (organic chemistry, synthesis, catalysis) at large; ii) practical scientific knowledge (lab practice); iii) analytical techniques; iv) information seeking (data-bases) and management; v) lab safety; vi) research ethics; vii) supervising other people (students).
Advanced research skills, delivered by the consortium, including: i) ability to evaluate the sustainability of a reaction/process based on economic and environmental considerations; ii) knowledge on the mechanisms of interaction between basic and applied research; iii) ability to evaluate the industrial feasibility of a reaction; iv) reaction scale up; v) patenting and intellectual property issues; vi) legal requirements/regulations; vii) risk management.
Transferable skills, such as: i) critical thinking; ii) self-confidence and independency; iii) problem-solving ability; iv) team work attitude; v) project management and strategic decision-making; vi) languages; vii) presentation skills; viii) writing skills (CV, reports, papers and proposals); ix) interview/self-presentation skills.
