Once the doctoral student has enrolled, the tutor and the director will establish their personalized activity document for the purposes of the individualized control record, as referred to in article 22 of the Regulations for official doctoral studies at the University of La Laguna (Approved at the Governing Council meeting of 22-03-2024) and Article 13 of the Doctoral Studies Regulations of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, (Approved in the Governing Council meeting of 26-01-2023).

The aforementioned document will record all activities of interest for the development of the doctoral student, as regulated by the university, the Doctoral School, the body responsible for the Doctoral Program or the Academic Committee itself, and will be regularly reviewed by the tutor and the thesis director and evaluated by the Academic Committee responsible for the Doctoral Program referred to in article 14 of the aforementioned Regulations.

Before the end of the first year, the doctoral candidate will prepare a Research Plan that will include, at a minimum, the methodology to be used and the objectives to be achieved, as well as the means and timeline for achieving them. This Plan may be improved and detailed throughout the student's stay on the program and must be endorsed by the supervisor and the director.

The Academic Committee of the program will annually evaluate the development of the Research Plan and the document of Training Activities developed by the doctoral student, together with the reports that, for this purpose, must be issued by the tutor and the director.

A positive evaluation will be an essential requirement to continue in the Program.

In the event of a negative evaluation, the Academic Committee will issue a report justifying the evaluation and proposing the appropriate corrective measures for the next evaluation. In the event of a negative evaluation, the doctoral candidate must be evaluated again within six months, for which purpose a new Research Plan will be drawn up. In the event of a new negative evaluation, the doctoral candidate will be permanently withdrawn from the Programme.
