Unite! WIDENING Training | Doctoral School International Impact and Attractiveness

Politecnico di Torino is inviting researchers, professors and university staff dealing with doctoral education to participate in Unite! WIDENING Training: “Doctoral School International Impact and Attractiveness” that will take place from 18 to 20 November 2026.
The event consists of a 3-day in-person training (lunch-to-lunch). The event will encompass training sessions, sharing of best practices, group work, workshops and networking moments.

To actively contribute to the workshop sessions, participants are expected to be familiar with their institution's internationalisation strategy for doctoral education, including its current strengths, challenges, and strategic objectives, as these will form the basis for group discussions and the development of action plans.
By the end of the programme, participants will have:
