Today’s research training,<br />
for tomorrow’s needs<br />
Scientific knowledge lies at the heart of the European knowledge<br />
economy. We need researchers who not only make new<br />
d<strong>is</strong>coveries, but underst<strong>and</strong> how to manage <strong>and</strong> fund research,<br />
transfer knowledge to others <strong>and</strong> develop <strong>and</strong> manage their<br />
innovative ideas for maximum social <strong>and</strong> economic benefit.<br />
Employers seek people who are not only highly educated, but also<br />
highly adaptable <strong>and</strong> able to transfer or make use of knowledge in<br />
different roles <strong>and</strong> contexts – both academic <strong>and</strong> commercial.<br />
The challenge for institutions providing PhD education <strong>is</strong> to equip<br />
students with these skills without encroaching too much into the<br />
time available to carry out research. <strong>ReMaT</strong> has been conceived<br />
to address th<strong>is</strong> challenge.<br />
