BIOTIN DCs are provided support to develop networking & communication skills within and outside the academic environment, in order to increase and broaden the impact of their research projects and actions.

An advanced & multidisciplinary training program is designed in the frame of BIOTIN, combining several research & training-through-research activities (access and training on state-of-the-art techniques and equipment), a secondment in relevant academic and non-academic institutions at the forefront of research & technology and a number of local and network-wide complementary short-visits and training activities (schools, workshops, conferences, etc.). 

During the PhD thesis project, DCs also acquire transferable skills through regular research meetings, networking events or presentations. A number of compulsory and optional activities are available for the fellows. All DCs are engage in at least one research secondment at an international academic institution, and at least one short-visit or training at an industry partner (in Türkiye or in abroad).
