PROMOTE was designed to train new leading scientists in the field of prostate cancer, -omics approaches, bioinformatics and translational research, including aspects on commercialisation, intellectual property right, patenting, and regulatory requirements, allowing for translation of the basic research into clinical practice. 

For each doctoral candidate, a personalised training programme will be implemented, covering both local and international, network-wide activities, as briefly summarised below.

Local training: 

• Enrolment in PhD programmes. 
• Training at the beneficiary premises, with activities specifically designed for the individual projects.
• Participation in international webinars, and journal club meetings. 

International, network training activities: 

• Multi-disciplinary workshops, focused on clinical aspects of prostate cancer, its pathophysiology, omics and its application to address clinical needs, and bioinformatics.
• Hands-training courses on programming and statistics.
• Training courses on transferable skills and competences. 
• Secondments to partner laboratories, to maximize training in the relevant areas toward reaching the research objective. 
• Participation in high-level international conferences and presentation of their work as posters and/or oral presentations.
