Innovation Management and Knowledge Transfer
GITC01 - ECTS
- 1. Characterize the fundamental components of concepts of innovation, critical technology, intellectual property, knowledge transfer, technology-based products and businesses, and how they interact to create value. Apply this conceptual framework to analyze or develop the fundamentals of technology-based product, service, and business concepts.
- Explain the main factors that determine an innovator's ability to capture the returns from their innovation. Apply this conceptual framework to analyze or develop a strategy for appropriating technology-based value.
- Raise awareness of the importance of intellectual property in the context of the knowledge economy, introduce the various intellectual property rights, and conduct research in patent, trademark, and design databases.
- Explain the challenges and synergies between scientific dissemination and intellectual property protection. Define the concepts of authorship, inventor, and ownership. Characterize the role of technology transfer offices and the main intellectual property management processes.
- Characterize and explain the various R&D collaboration models that can lead to the creation of knowledge and value. Introduce negotiation and standard legal instruments involved in these processes.
- Address entrepreneurship as a possible path for the valorization and impact of knowledge. Identify the main sources of financing, with an emphasis on venture capital.
- Discuss ways of sharing results (licensing) and use real cases to illustrate the impact that knowledge can have on society.

Systematic Review of Scientific Literature
RSLC01 - ECTS
This training aims to promote cross-cutting skills in the area of systematic literature research and information processing. Participants will be able to apply general principles of scientific research (traceability and reproducibility) in literature review processes and create and report scientific knowledge in accordance with the highest international standards.
At the end of the training, students should be able to:
Develop a systematic review protocol following the PRISMA-P 2015 guidelines, ensuring the application of rigorous, transparent, and reproducible methodologies in the synthesis of scientific evidence.

Bootcamp for preparing an application to a PhD scholarship
BCBD01 - ECTS
The Bootcamp for preparing applications for doctoral scholarships from the Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P. (FCT) aims to support doctoral students in preparing a competitive and well-structured proposal for the annual FCT Doctoral Research Scholarship competition. Its main objectives are:
- Understand the key documents of the competition, including the FCT Research Grant Regulations (RBI) and the Research Grant Holder Statute (EBI).
- Recognize the importance of supporting documents for the application, such as the Call for Applications, the Evaluation Guide, the Application Guide, the Ethics Guide, and other relevant materials.
- Develop skills for organizing and structuring a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and its synopsis, as well as familiarization with the CIÊNCIAVITAE platform and its guide.
- Understand the impact of a well-written motivation letter and the careful choice of the most representative document of the scientific/professional career.
- Recognize the importance of matching the chosen Panel to the project to be submitted and the evaluation criteria.
- Develop communication and scientific argumentation skills to present ideas, objectives, state of the art, methodologies, and impact in a clear, coherent, and effective manner, adapting the message to specialized and non-specialized audiences.
- Know the essential points to be respected in order to have a competitive application that is aligned with the objectives of the research group involved, ENEI 2030, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
- Explore the advantages and challenges of using artificial intelligence tools in the application writing process.
- Plan a realistic schedule and identify key indicators for the implementation and monitoring of the work plan.
- Contact PhD students who have successfully applied and FCT competition evaluators.
Prepare a solid and well-founded proposal for application for a FCT PhD scholarship in the competition open on the date of the course unit.
