Industrial doctorates report 2022

Here you will find a compilation of the main actions carried out during the year, the results achieved and an overall assessment of how the budget has been developed having increased to almost 6 million euros and, also, within the framework of the beginning of the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Industrial Doctorates Plan.

This report is mainly aimed at all participants and entities involved in the Plan, but also at all people interested in collaborative research, knowledge transfer and innovation.

Institutional welcome

After 10 years of experience, the Industrial Doctorates Plan has achieved very tangible results, which can be measured, and has been accredited as a good tool to facilitate collaboration between the Catalan research system and universities, the business fabric and doctoral students who aspire to be linked to topics that lean towards transfer and innovation. The path has proven to be useful and efficient and allows a cumulative process of incorporation of companies, universities and research centers to a program that attracts talent, especially young talent, on its way to the accreditation of knowledge and the presentation of results.

The final objective is the doctoral theses, but in this case the itinerary is almost more important than the final result. In fact, it is the symbiosis between a shared journey and a result. This merger is linked to the business fabric and there is also the possibility of paid learning that establishes and solidifies the links between basic research and applied research.

It must be said, therefore, that within the framework of the objectives established in the National Pact for the Knowledge Society, the Industrial Doctorates programme is a successful programme, with an accredited track record and solid foundations for the future. It is a specific and sectoral contribution to the excellence in research programme proposed by the Government of Catalonia, aimed in this case at combining basic research and applied research, innovation and transfer.

Plan director's assessment

Albert Sangrà - Academic Director of the Industrial Doctorates Plan

2022 has been a year of new opportunities and challenges for the Industrial Doctorates Plan. On the one hand, new opportunities generated thanks to the increase of 1.5 million euros in the budget of the call, reaching almost 6 million. On the other hand, new challenges have emerged from the entry into force of the new labour reform, focusing mainly on the permanent contracts required in companies and institutions, a challenge that has become greater in the public sphere. Despite these unforeseen challenges, 2022 has been a successful year for the Industrial Doctorates Plan. The figures you will see in this report reflect the diversity and richness of our research ecosystem.

In addition, 2022 has been an important year, as it marks the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Industrial Doctorates Plan. To celebrate it, different activities were initiated during the year, which will last until 2023, designed to highlight the importance of collaborative research between business and academic environments in the transformation of the world and society, and to pay recognition to the participation of all.

2022 has been a year of exploited opportunities, challenges and successes, a year in which the results have demonstrated the resilience and strength of the Industrial Doctorates Plan, which continues to be a benchmark in collaborative research, providing undeniable value for the research and innovation ecosystem of Catalonia.

2022 activities

Introduction on objectives and axes

During 2022, the Industrial Doctorates Plan team has carried out a wide range of activities, included within the four strategic lines of the Strategic Plan (evaluate, connect, communicate and optimize), or derived from the call for grants itself, such as training in transversal skills aimed at industrial doctoral students.

All the activities carried out throughout the year contribute to achieving the vision of the Industrial Doctorates Plan, which we remember is the following:

The Industrial Doctorates Plan has established itself as a prestigious benchmark for the generation and transfer of knowledge, providing:

  1. Recognition and value of the figure of doctoral staff as an accelerator of innovation within the company.
  2. Indicators of the benefits of collaboration between academia and the socioeconomic world.
  3. Merit within the academic world.
  4. Promotion of private investment in R+D+I.

The Plan works and achieves its objectives based on the values of public service; in particular proximity, agility, trust, efficiency and transparency.

Dissemination and promotion of the plan

Throughout 2022, the Industrial Doctorates Plan (Plan DI) has carried out various activities with the aim of consolidating and expanding collaboration between the academic world and the business fabric. In this period, the ID Plan has had the support of the Department of Economy and Finance, through the co-financing of the Promotion Fund for the evaluation of public policies (PROAVA), for the evaluation of the program, through which the foundations have been laid for its future development.

Between September and December 2022, training in transversal competences was carried out, an initiative focused on developing skills that go beyond the specific knowledge of each research area.

Throughout the year, two welcome sessions were held for the new promotions of industrial doctoral students. These sessions took place in February and December and offered an opportunity for the reception and integration of the new members of the ID Plan.

2022 has been a special year, as it marks the tenth anniversary of Plan DI. For this reason, testimonials have been shared on Twitter, the first edition of the Impact Awards has been convened in November and recordings of testimonies of participants of the program have been carried out at the end of the year.

During 2022, Plan DI has been present in several face-to-face campaign sessions . Some of these sessions consisted of participation in INEFC Barcelona on March 30 and INEFC Lleida on April 1, meetings organized by the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia (INEFC); attendance at the Transfer Breakfast of the Research Park of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (PRUAB) entitled "The network of Industrial Doctorates" in April; and, finally, the InnoBages information session of the Bages County Council on December 21.

It has also participated in the First Congress on Industrial Doctorates at the Jaume I University of Castellón on October 4, in the round table of the I TECNIO Congress on October 19, and in November, to end the year, in a round table on industrial doctorates at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) during the Knowledge Transfer Week, and a session of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the Open University of Catalonia (UOC).

Several virtual campaign sessions have also been held, such as participation in the European Industrial Doctorates Event of the European Commission on November 10, in a virtual information session organized by the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology – CERCA (IRTA-CERCA) on April 6, and in the session organized on September 13 by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

Once again this year, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) organised several information sessions for students, companies and researchers in June, as well as a specialized webinar on industrial doctorates in space, in collaboration with the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC), in December.

Finally, the task of disseminating the activity of the participants of the ID Plan has continued through reports and in-depth interviews, in order to publicize their experiences and the results of their research.

In conclusion, 2022 has been a year marked by various activities and initiatives that have contributed to the consolidation and expansion of the Industrial Doctorates Plan.

Training in transversal competences

During 2022, the 10th edition of the common training in transversal competences of the Industrial Doctorates Plan took place. This edition has been carried out entirely online, following the methodology established in the previous edition and guaranteeing the same learning outcomes and satisfaction of doctoral students.

In this edition, 92 doctoral students have participated, who in addition to being able to establish synergies and share experiences, have acquired knowledge in leadership and management of R+D+I projects, innovation management, and assessment and protection of research results, among other knowledge that will allow them to grow and develop professionally in non-academic environments.

2022 RESULTS

The phase of the 2022 campaign, which closed on 1 December 2022, managed to promote 147 proposals: 133 for co-financing and 14 for specific grants. Of these proposals, 119 applications have been formalised and 117 have been awarded, 106 in the form of co-financing and 11 in the form of specific grants. The partial resolutions were resolved in June, August and December 2022, and February 2023.
