Overview: This session was organised by SGRE, more specifically by 8 engineers in SGRE holding a PhD in various fields (related or not to wind energy) and from various cultural backgrounds. Topics included: tools for a successful transition from academia to industry (networking, industry involvement, soft-skills); HR/Management perspective on PhD applications; experience sharing from Siemens Gamesa staff holding a PhD degree. The content was largely based on the points of view of these engineers, sharing what they believe is an asset for industrial positions to hold a PhD, based on their personal experience.
