15 EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES AIMED TO TIVANO (ASSET ) SYSTEM ENGINEERING Group b)in FUTURE, during development of the Project The MIUR stated that all the Research Project of the Cluster must be comprehensive of an Educational Program (about 10% of the total amount of every Project) So TIVANO will pay five grants for Ph D Students that will work for three years on the Project both in Industry and at University. The Tutor will be Academic POLITO will account three of the aforesaid PhD Students in the Team that will work on the previous described activities p We hope that at EWADE 2015 these Ph D Students will present the progress of their works! 15
