The SAVE-IT network activities includes workshops with specific themes, organized visits at participating companies, and international visits at renowned universities and companies. Special emphasis on education in non-technical skills, such as leadership, project management and team building, is given. The SAVE-IT PhD students are also offered participation in activities organized by the SSF-supported network ARTES and the EU supported network ARTIST2.

Participating PhD students, supervisors and mentors are allowed to freely participate the SAVE-IT network activities. New SAVE-IT network activities will be announced on this web-page and by regular email send-outs.
