Objectives of the Ph.D. Program
The PhD program takes advantage of the strong synergies between the proposing areas of the two universities and of the industrial research initiatives taking place in the Apulian territory. The doctoral training successfully capitalizes on the skills gained in technology transfer programs carried out by the two universities, as well as the potential of public-private laboratories.

Professional Opportunities and Potential Areas of Employment
Since the ongoing digital transformation of industries requires more and more high-level skills, the PhD program in “Industry 4.0” aims to train professionals who will work mainly in industrial research and development and technology transfer, but will also be able to be employed in academia.
Among the possible industrial sectors of outlet and in particular in the regional context, it it relevant to mention: aerospace, agribusiness, biomedical, consumer electronics, energy, IT, logistics and transport, mechanics and mechatronics, steel, textiles-clothing-footwear.
In addition to these areas, other professional outlets for Ph.D.s trained under this doctorate are in research and development activities for the service industry, as well as in systems, products, and services related to resource management.
