The RAICAM project is an MSCA Doctoral Network (www.raicam.eu) with a unique structure that enables Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to undertake not only their core research, but also take part in practical collaborative research sprints where they can combine their research to address real-world challenges. Take a peek behind the scenes as the DCs show what it’s like take part in collaborative research sprints. Across the three days, the DCs will provide vlog updates on the activities they are doing, culminating in a livestream of their final demo and a Q&A session answering questions about what it’s like doing a PhD and taking part in these activities.
