Nel mondo scientifico la comunicazione è diventata parte integrante del lavoro richiesto. Sempre più spesso, infatti scienziati e professionisti del settore si trovano esposti o si espongono per propria necessità all’opinione pubblica. Tuttavia, la concorrenza fra i diversi messaggi, le fonti spesso non attendibili e la vasta scelta di canali di comunicazione non aiuta a far arrivare al grande pubblico i messaggi desiderati. Per raggiungere gli obiettivi di comunicazione bisogna dunque conoscere gli strumenti a disposizione e metterli a sistema con tecniche comunicative di massa efficaci.

Il corso ha la duplice finalità di illustrare le tecniche e i “trucchi” del mestiere per produrre contenuti attendibili ed efficaci in termini di comunicazione e, allo stesso tempo, offrire un inquadramento - seppur semplificato - dei meccanismi, delle teorie e delle prassi di comunicazione in ambito scientifico con l’aiuto di professionisti del settore..

In this course we will provide learners with useful coordinates to improve their oral presentation skills, considering the different aspects of building effective communication. We will discuss what effective communication is, the contexts in which a researcher needs to communicate himself or herself or his or her work, then learn how to identify and analyse the audience, and using proprietary schemes of work, already tried out with doctoral students at other universities, we will practise answering the fundamental questions that underpin a message that reaches its destination, exploring some guidelines and tools for constructing the discourse.

Financial education can play a key role in providing not only the knowledge and skills needed to look after one's own future, but also the sensitivity to make choices that are compatible with the interests of the community and, in particular, the protection of the environment. It is important that people become aware of the impact of their choices, not only when it comes to spending, but also when it comes to saving. It is high time that we had not only consumers but also responsible savers. Financial education can make a decisive contribution to reconciling economic life with ecological balance.

The basic course on Intellectual Property and Patents aims to provide scientific content to improve knowledge on the subject. In particular to:

• Improve the understanding of the basic concepts regarding the protection and enhancement of Intellectual Property;
• Improve the knowledge and understanding of the different types of Intellectual Property and the protection methods for each of them;
• Acquisition of knowledge related to the definition of an invention, inventor and owner and the evaluation of patentability of findings, with special focus on the requirements under the law;
• Acquisition of knowledge related to how to protect the confidentiality of Intellectual Property;
• Acquisition of knowledge related to the different types of patents;
• Understanding of the steps necessary to evaluate the patentability of results, with focus on the process within the University of Milan;
• Acquisition of basic knowledge for assessing the value of Intellectual Property and introduction to the valorization processes.

This module explores the introduction's vital role in research papers, teaching students to create compelling rationales, contextualize research questions, and structure papers effectively. Moreover, this module focuses on mastering engaging introductions by employing language stems to articulate significance, identify gaps in literature, and clarify research objectives, enhancing overall writing impact and coherence. Through step-by-step guidance, students develop skills to captivate readers and seamlessly lead them into the research's core.

During these sessions we will be looking at a variety of interview questions, both academic and job interview questions. Defying our inner critic in the midst of the joy initially being felt when invited to a job interview. This course will prepare and empower candidates to deal with different types of interview questions, and answer in the best possible manner, in order to obtain the best result. Rooted in the method of psychodynamic coaching, we will be looking at ways and methods to enhance when answering tricky questions in a limited amount of time.

Research integrity entails honesty and ethical conduct, avoiding plagiarism and data manipulation.

Supporting reproducible research involves transparent reporting and sharing of data and methodologies.

Reproducibility ensures consistent results with the same data and methods, while replicability confirms results across different datasets or methods.

To achieve reproducibility, researchers follow rigorous methodologies, document workflows, and make data openly accessible.

National and international regulations govern research integrity, covering areas like data management and ethical treatment of subjects.

As doctoral and post-doctoral students, you will be called upon to engage with the content and methods of evaluating sustainability research projects.
When dealing with sustainability issues, it is appropriate - if not necessary - to base your approach on the principles of integration, universality and participation. For example, the first principle - that of integration - encourages us to change our perspective, both in thought and in action. So-called integrative thinking is now seen as a prerequisite for achieving two goals: a) to develop projects that address highly complex challenges (climate, socio-economic, health emergencies); b) to be able to adequately communicate the results obtained.

The Integrated Sustainability Assessment for Global Health course addresses these issues from different angles.  Starting from the contents of the video lessons, which focus on particularly topical issues, attention is drawn to the so-called integrated sustainability report, which is now considered a necessary tool for promoting a culture of transition, regeneration of ecosystems and global health within the world of higher education.
