      Abstract

      In 2024, Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture announced a pilot programme for renewing doctoral education practices in Finland, with an aim at shortening graduation times and enabling faster employment of doctors by companies. This pilot programme aims to train 1000 new doctors in three-year-long pilot projects. One of the selected pilot projects is the Doctoral Education Pilot for Mathematics of Sensing, Imaging and Modelling (DREAM), which is a consortium formed by partners in seven Finnish universities, aiming to pilot doctoral training practices in the fields of applied mathematics, physics, computing and imaging sciences.
