why we care
The complex and interdisciplinary nature of newness and theory building underlines the need for innovative interdisciplinary training of a new generation of highly-skilled, creative, entrepreneurial and innovative doctoral researchers trained to understand, develop and above all communicate a deeper understanding of the process of newness and theory building and their impact.
TBRP interdisciplinary doctoral training programme is designed to fully prepare young doctoral researchers to become future leading experts in the research and innovation of newness and theory building, in both academia and industrial environments, supporting effective high level understanding and decision making, exploit the synergies of perspectives of newness and theory building and boost innovation for the benefit of the global economy in all sectors.
the aim
TBRP interdisciplinary doctoral training programme aims to fill in this gap by:
- Developing new and sharpening extant theory building methodologies, methods, tools and techniques
- Applying these methodologies, methods, tools and techniques to inter-disciplinary, inter-sectoral, and inter-technology research and empirical settings to develop innovative understanding of newness and its impact
- Training young doctoral researchers on how to theorize and build theory from extant inter-disciplinary, inter-sectoral, and inter-technology theoretical and practical knowledge and data.
our offer
We have responded to the above challenges and needs and timely set up a unique, innovative, international, interdisciplinary training programme in social sciences and economics, with applications in science, engineering, technology, health and humanities to train a new generation of innovative, entrepreneurial and creative doctoral researchers, who will become future leaders in both academia and industry. We offer a number of high guality, interdisciplinary doctoral and supervisor training programmes as well as developed 'in-house' strategies for theorizing and theory building.
