\"A scientist by mindset. A problem-solver by profession.\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

15 October 2026, 9:30-16:30
\ud83d\udccd \u00dclemiste City<\/strong> | \u00d6pik Conference Centre (Valukoja 8, Tallinn)
Participation is free of charge. The forum will be held in Estonian.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your organisation faces questions without simple answers, if you are looking for smarter approaches to development and innovation, or if you are considering whether and how an early-stage researcher could become part of your team, then this forum is meant just for you.

The Intersectoral Doctoral Studies Forum brings together companies<\/strong>, public sector organisations<\/strong>, professional associations<\/strong> and universities<\/strong>\u200e to discuss openly and practically<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u27a4 How does a doctoral researcher create value outside the university?
\u27a4 What does the day-to-day work of an intersectoral doctoral researcher look like?
\u27a4 Why does this type of collaboration help address complex problems that have no quick solutions?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The forum is not only about the concept itself, but also about a functioning model of collaboration, the experiences gained so far, and the next steps ahead. The floor will primarily be given to representatives of companies and public-sector organisations, as well as knowledge transfer doctoral researchers, who work daily at the interface of academia and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of the forum is the dynamic idea exchange session \u201cA Problem Looking for a Researcher\u201d<\/strong>, where the aim is not to find the right answers, but to ask the right questions - questions that may spark meaningful collaboration between universities and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
