Number of hours: 350

Description: Optional activity
Although highly recommended, the mobility requirements of this activity make it optional for both part-time and full-time students. These stays, with a total duration of between 8 and 12 weeks, will primarily serve as a means for the doctoral candidate to conduct part of their research. However, they are also considered a fundamental component of their training, as they provide exposure to other educational and research systems, access to seminars and courses offered at other universities, improve their knowledge of a second language, and build their own network of contacts. These stays are a requirement for obtaining the international doctoral degree, which will be encouraged for all students in the program. The number of hours indicated refers to the time the student is expected to dedicate to training activities: learning new techniques, attending courses and seminars, etc. It is understood that most part-time students will find it more difficult to complete these stays, so in these cases, shorter stays or splitting the stay into several periods will be encouraged. Related competencies: CB13, CA04

Monitoring Procedure: Prior to the stay, the Academic Committee will be informed of the details of the stay and will authorize it. During their stay, the student will be supervised by a professor or researcher from the host institution, who will prepare a final report on the work carried out during the stay and the student's performance. This report will reflect not only the research activities but also any other training activities carried out during the stay (attending or teaching seminars, attending specialized courses, etc.), as well as the training received by the student in specific techniques. It must be endorsed by the director of that institution or center. The Director/Tutor will include this report in the doctoral student's Activity Document, along with a personal assessment of the results of the stay. All relevant documentation will be sent to the Academic Committee, which will incorporate the data into the doctoral student's activity log. The Academic Committee will include an assessment of this activity in its annual report.
