As organizations dedicated to the generation and transfer of technology to improve the competitiveness level of the industry, talent development is one of the main axes of the IK4 Research Alliance Technology Centres. On one hand, the Centres need highly qualified research staff, and, on the other hand, companies must recruit workers specialised in clue areas for their industrial development.
With the aim of showing the future professionals of our industry the opportunities that the 7 Technology Centres from the IK4 Research Alliance can offer them, Ph. D. Edurne Aguado, researcher at IK4-AZTERLAN Metallurgy Research Centre, and Francisco Febrer, member of IK4-TEKNIKER, shared with the students some of their daily experiences within their own organisations.
Also, representing the research community, Ph. D.
