international research institutions make it easier to enter the world of
international research, thanks to interaction with scientific personalities
and visiting periods in laboratories worldwide. The industrial joint
projects in applied research allow PhD students to become acquainted to the
activities of today's most technologically advanced companies, thus gaining
