Abstract

InnEO'Space PhD project is preparing young researchers for a successful career by developing modernised and transferable PhD courses and learning resources based on innovation skills and employers' needs as well as in-depth knowledge of high stakes and approaches of Earth Observation in many application domains. The mains objectives of Inn'EO Space PhD are to enhance and develop researchers' innovation-oriented mind-sets and skills through Earth Observation, raise awareness about employment opportunities in academia and industry among researchers and scientists, tackle future skills mismatches and create new synergies between PhD students and researchers and potential employers. The first action has been to develop the InnEOStartech where the program was set for European PhD students with the aim of developing their taste for entrepreneurship spirit through idea of founding a company or designing an application. The second action has been to develop a summer school that delivered both technical skills and soft skills, thus providing all the ingredients for an innovation-oriented mindset. From these activities we shall develop a series of SPOCs (Small Private Online Courses) that will be made available to the community for further dissemination and exploitation.
