Pitch Training for ICT Research

The Helsinki Doctoral Education Network in Information and Communications Technology (HICT) is a collaborative doctoral education network coordinated by HIIT, and hosted jointly by Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. The network serves as a collaboration platform for doctoral education combining all the relevant subfields of computer science and information technology at Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. It involves at present 63 professors and almost 300 doctoral students, and the participating units graduate altogether more than 40 new doctors each year.

HICT organised a Pitch Training course for doctoral students in October 6th and 8th. The idea was to learn new presentation skills that could be useful:

- at the thesis defense to convince the opponent
- in a job interview
- when applying for research funding from AoF, Tekes...
- when commercialising the research results and creating a start-up
- when sitting next to a lifelong IT guru, a business angel or a journalist
 
Five best doctoral students were awarded with a ticket to Slush.
