Given the success of the individual meetings between PhD candidates, Post Docs and companies held during the Career Days - with more than 300 meetings organized - Politecnico di Torino, in collaboration with the Sistema Poli, is organizing “MatchIN - Connecting research and industry to accelerate innovation”, an event dedicated to fostering dialogue between research and the productive sector, which will take place on 4 June 2026, from 2.00 pm to 6.30 pm.
The initiative is aimed at researchers holding a PhD with ongoing research collaborations or collaborations concluded within the last 12 months, who are interested in understanding how research skills can be enhanced within the business environment.
