Introduction
A Network of Excellence (NoE) is an instrument for strengthening excellence by tackling the fragmentation of research across Europe, where the main deliverable is a durable integration of the research capacities of the participants. The exchange of knowledge is essential in this context, and considered one of the desiderata within FIDIS. Equally, establishing long-term links, i.e. beyond the life-time of the NoE, between partners is key to ameliorating the fragmentation issues both at a fundamental level across disciplines and at the broader level across Europe. One core method by which both can be attained is through the cross discipline training of PhD students within the FIDIS network. The importance of this aspect is echoed by the elaboration of this specific area into its own focussed Work Package (WP15) within FIDIS. This new Work Package builds on the solid foundation already established during its origins within Work Package 8.
The ‘FIDIS Doctoral Consortium’ is an important integrative and disseminative part of the Network: It connects students and researchers from the disparate FIDIS domains together, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and is an important platform for networking. Indeed being a heterogeneous environment, the DC meetings are a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and build a true research network. Moreover, the DC events contribute substantially to the dissemination of the FIDIS results both internally and externally, allowing for information flow both in and out of the dedicated network.
The FIDIS Summer School markedly differs from the smaller PhD training events which occur as part of WP15 throughout the year. While the drive is still to encourage a stimulating discourse between all participants, with these longer events the aim is to provide a setting more akin to a formal academic conference, with participation widely drawn from reputed sources beyond the FIDIS network. With a formal program committee, extensive review process for participant’s submissions, and subsequent publication of proceedings, these events have the potential to offer a high degree of academic value.
