What is a PhD?Notes by enrico de angelis with reference to Matt Might, Ken Robinson,

Nathan Yau, Peter Kraker, the whole StarTrek saga … and others!

The faculties of science and humanities start demanding a formal research dissertation for the award of their degree

19° century: german education reform

Doctor of Philosophy (abbreviated as Ph.D.)

The origin of PhD

Thanks to US, German dissertation practice becomes a worldwide success!

• US students come in Germany to get a PhD after their Bachelor

• Yale University start a PhD Degree in 1861:– Postgrad Courses + thesis

• From the beginning of 20° century, European and US universities move toward three degrees: Bachelor, Master, Doctorate

• In Italy Dottorato starts in 1985@Polimi

1985 PhD Programs started2001 PhD School started

What is a PhD, from MATT MIGHT

(Thanks4yourslides, Matt)

Suppose this circle represent the advancing boundary of actual human knowledge …

http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/


… And that this is your primary school learning of such an amount of knowledge …



… And this what you gain from your secondary school studies …



… bachelor …


(Thanks4yourslides, Matt)(Thanks4yourslides, Matt)

… master …




… and phd…



Let’s go closer!



A successful Phd is able to go beyond boundaries!


A successful one!

Cosa è un dottorato, dopo due secoli dalla sua “invenzione”?

Un grande impegno (the “research endeavour”), per produrre una tesi (un documento unico) ……di cui si valutata, in una discussione pubblica

il reale avanzamento delle conoscenze apportato

PhD studies in general The PhD title is a necessary requirement

to enter the Academy and a professorshipbut

A PhD holder is appreciated by companies (and public institutions) also in Italy

PhD is a must, in many foreign countries,for high management positions also outside of research labs

So, stay in touch with your stakeholders and create relationships for your (and our) sake

Urban legend

It is no more true that big companies don’t want to hire PhDs because they’re overqualified and too independent, so, it is easier to get a job with a Master of Science than with a PhD»«PhD-qualified professionals are in high demand. The problem is that very few PhDs know how to leverage their PhD».Just don’t expect the world be served on a sliver platter

Isaiah Hankel, “7 Advantages PhDs Have Over Other Job Candidates” www.cheekyscientist.com

http://www.cheekyscientist.com/

Who is the PhD holder?The ten “doctoral plus”

1. A PhD holder knows how to find answers

If you are trained to identify and solve problems, you are trained for decision-making:• critical thinking • complex problem solving



2. A PhD holder is not easily frightened:he/she learns from failures …



2. A PhD holder is not easily frightened… and is tempered in uncertainty


… and is fully experienced with negative bosses


3. A PhD holder is taught (tempered) for high level communication


You don’t just regurgitate information, you create it.


4. A PhD holder is taught (tempered) to compete and to cooperate



5. A PhD holder is adaptable to change (technological, social, organizational)

… he/she is trained to generate the change and often is already beyond the chance that is to come

6. PhD holder’s talent is innovation[progressive&disruptive innovation]

«les docteurs … peuvent apporter “les innovations de rupture” qui feront les emplois et la croissance de demain» M.C. Corbier, LesEcho.fr 12/11/14

7. PhD holders share a valuable set of relations with experts and stakeholders

PhD Doctors are requested to build relations at a global level with the most influential and experts and to join, locally too, with stakeholders and their representative. These networks are less easily ACCESSIBLE by industrial and social parties

8. PhD holders have knowledge, experience and creativity to use it with high profit

9. The three years costs to grow PhD holders are payed back by their three year work

PhD Candidates, during their first year are mostly devoted to understand the questions to face and to complete their knowledge. But they start working ASAP … and the more their are helped in this first task, the quicker their results come … do you have any question?

three year costs may be payed bach before than three year

10. PhD training cost is lowbut it needs medium term programs

Slide by: Lidia Borrell-Damian Director, Research and Innovation, European University Association, 8th EUA-CDE workshop Aix-Marseille, January 2015)

“mission”, “vision” and basic principles

Our Mission

to train future researchers for the extensive field of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering.

Trained to face complex questions in complex contexts

Trained to innovate

Our VisionOur future researchers are self-sufficient, independent “actors”, able to gain an outstanding position at an international level:

as scientist/academic

as intellectuals

as professionals

as entrepreneurs

Trained to face complex questions in complex contextsand to innovate

Our VisionWe aim to become – in few years – the Italian Point of Reference for training experts in all the most critical subjects related to the sustainable (environmental, economical, social and cultural sustainability) transformation and management of the Built Environment ecosystem

Our principles (the ten pillars)of a competitive, attractive, well working PhD Program

1 – Doctoral Candidates are trained producing original research

Research training is through research itself, working with other researchers, mainly in the ABC Department.Candidate’s activity is embedded in our institutional activity (Sistematica Collaborazione all’interno in programmi di ricerca dipartimentali)

[Salzburg Principles, 1 and 2]

2 – PhD candidates are trained as independent (mentored) researchers

Mentors (tutor, supervisor, advisor) are counsellors, trainers, bosses , and their qualities are:

– Credibility– Integrity– Confidence– Cooperation

Mentorship means to involve, to offer opportunities, also for learning from errors and bearing responsibilities.

Pablo E. Fabisch - http://paesmem.stanford.edu/html/proceedings_4.html

[Salzburg Principles, N.4: Early Stage Researchers, and N.5, The crucial role of supervision …]

http://paesmem.stanford.edu/html/proceedings_4.html

http://paesmem.stanford.edu/html/proceedings_4.html

3 – PhD training is tailored on the Candidate and his/her objectives

Each Candidate defines, with the Tutor his/her Research and Training Plan (R&Tplan):– A lot of research activity about a

chosen topic (66-85%).– Some formal training (few), to

gain a common starting level and to fill possible gaps, to get basic skills (e.g. research management and communication) and to be updated

4 – PhD candidates are continuously reviewed and assessed

ABC-PhD: study + work + internal review and external assessment– Mentorship comes together with systematic review (6

Milestones) and independent assessment (by external experts) of candidate’s projects and products

– Results are planned and expected from the first year

+

[Salzburg Principles, N.5, The crucial role of supervision and assessment]

5 – Strong relations with other researchers in the global network

There are thousands of researchers in Europe, hundrieds of thousands in the world: the most of them works on similar projects and topics.

http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd112006s.gif

[Salzburg Principles, N.9, Increasing mobility]

6 – A management system designedto improve our performances

[Salzburg Recommendation 2.7, Quality and accountability]

7 – High level and wide disciplinar spectrum doctoral training offer

The whole PhD School offers a complex and wide set of courses on may topics and disciplines, with the best international teachers and about the most actual research questions.The Program adds a good number of strategic and specialistic courses and research workshops about our main topics

[Salzburg Principles, N.3: Diversity]

8 – An effective recruitment process

1. Open, efficient, transparent and supportive recruitment procedures , internationally comparable and tailored to the advertised positions.2. A selection based on the research of the compromise among youngers potential, personal motivation and proved competencies.

[Salzburg Recommendation 2.2, Recruitment, admission and status]

9 – Publishing PhD (but not too much)

PhD Candidates are directly involved in active research. Their average number of peer-reviewed publications during the PhD is about 2,0. We aim to grow a lot in the future: not a lot in number, in quality.Alternative to publication: PATENT!

[Salzburg Principles, N.4: Doctoral Candidates as early stage researchers.]

[Salzburg Reccomendation 2.4, The outcome of their research must be original and suitable for dissemination within the scientific community]

10 – Strong relation with stakeholdersCandidate’s activity is embedded in the institutional activity of the ABC Department, that is defined in a strong relation with stakeholders. Moreover, Candidates are strongly encouraged to stay in relation with stakeholders …

EC Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training in Europe: 5. Exposure to industry and Interface with the labour market

10 – Strong relation with stakeholdersCandidate’s activity is embedded in the institutional activity of the ABC Department, that is defined in a strong relation with stakeholders. Moreover, Candidates are strongly encouraged to stay in relation with stakeholders …

The Research and Training Plan

• This Program will schedule, for three years of full-time work, this kind of training activities:– Educational Activities: courses and studies needed to

complete and to refine Student’s skills, propaedeutic to the analysis of the Research Topic. In particular, the Program will schedule courses for a minimum of 30, up to a maximum of 60 ECTS: at least 5 ECTS Credits must be acquired attending courses offered by the PhD School.

– Teaching activities: PhD Students may include Teaching activities about their PhD Thesis topics, which will be acknowledged as knowledge transfer and communication activities, for a maximum of 5 ECTS, in their whole program.

The Research and Training Plan• This Program will schedule, for three years of full-time work,

this kind of training activities:– Research Activities: the development of the PhD Thesis

and the participation to specific research activities, related to the Research Topic, if suitable to gain experience in research planning, management and execution, as well as in knowledge transfer practice or for a particular occurrence.

– Communication Activities: writing and publishing the research results of the Student, in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences proceedings, and, in general, his/her active participation to international research symposiums.

Too much emphasis on CREDITS

• CREDITS is the standart metrics for TRAINING• RESEARCH can’t be weighted through hours

count. It is weighted through RESULTS• Nevertheless you might be requested to show

us your real committment ALSO in terms of hours count, especially when your results are not satisfactory.

• Nevertheless a PLAN is NEEDED

What is the R&T Plan (first task)?
