CLOCKS is an international Ph.D. Summer School lasting 1 week and entitled “Closing the loop: building circular skills on the entire value chain for Circular Economy”. The school has a strong focus on technical and scientific topics, delivered as class teaching, webinars, and MOOCs. Target attendees, to which an Open Badge will be awarded, are Ph.D. students but also professionals working in the fields of circular economy and/or raw materials. Based on challenges and hackathons provided by companies, in field laboratories to be performed in companies, highly transversal and intersectoral teaching contents, the program and the structure of the schools aim at building interdisciplinary proficiency, skills, and entrepreneurial mindset. Teaching contents foster the synergetic combination of academic/scientific experts, while challenges proposed by the companies to the Ph.D. students are related to real industrial problems.
