Why Do We Care?
INSAIT promises to provide significant opportunities for Masters and Doctoral students. They are in the process of preparing their M.SC program for 2023 and are in the first phase of launching their doctoral progam which:
"... begins with candidates being appointed as starting researchers, which provides them with outstanding conditions (e.g., salary, working conditions, travel, etc.) to ensure they are primarily focused on defining a breakthrough research topic that will grow into their Ph.D. thesis."
They are also offering opportunities for startups. As they describe it:
"The INSAIT Startup Researcher program formalizes and systematizes the process of creating deep-tech startups (which takes place in world-class universities) and serves as a feeder to seed-stage funding VCs. The program helps researchers immerse themselves into the deep science underlying and necessary for creating deep-tech startups, all with the support of world-class researchers who are also entrepreneurs and have created such startups before."
