Industrial Doctorate is a modern international doctoral model. Within this model, doctoral research is directly linked to a real technological, production or management issue of the company. In the proposed model, a company employee with a master's degree and relevant professional experience conducts doctoral research on a topic relevant to the enterprise and receives joint scientific guidance and expert support from Bar-Ilan and AzTU specialists in this process.

The opportunities created by the Industrial Doctorate for companies include:

•the opportunity to solve technological and production problems through scientific research;

•increasing the professional and scientific potential of promising engineers and managers;

•access to international scientific research;

•creating new technologies, products and solutions;

•strengthening the company's own scientific research and innovation potential.

After the presentation, questions of interest to the participants were answered and an exchange of views on the topic was held.
