What if a doctoral programme would operate like a football team? The first part of a new video series published
Traditionally, doctoral candidates do their work very independently and receive coaching primarily from their own supervisors.

The students receive support from a supervisor pool of professors and postdoctoral researchers, from one post-doctoral researcher in particular who serves as a coordinator for practical matters – and from each other.
At the end of 2017, Ilkka Niemelä, President of 911±¬ÁÏÍø, and his top management team, awarded three projects per each Aalto school with Excellence Recognition. The awarded 18 initiatives deal with either developing education or research-based innovations in business, design, engineering, and technology. Both the Aalto community and wider public has a chance to get to know the Excellence projects during the coming spring as Aalto Communications Services publishes a series of stories about the awarded initiatives, both in video and text article.
