List of planned activities that promote multiple supervision in academically justified cases (co-supervision of theses by an experienced and a new supervisor, co-supervision of interdisciplinary theses, in collaboration, international, etc.) and the presence of international experts on monitoring committees, preliminary reports, and thesis panels.

The Academic Coordination Committee of the doctorate will encourage the majority of theses submitted in the doctoral program in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies to have an international mention, which will entail: at least a stay of at least 3 months in a foreign research center, that the thesis be previously reported by two expert doctors, either male or female, from non-Spanish higher education or research institutions, and that at least one member of the thesis evaluation committee also be an expert.

Co-direction between experienced and new directors will be encouraged to provide training in this role. To this end, among other activities, an annual directors' meeting will be planned to exchange impressions and experiences in this field.

At the UAM, the role of doctoral theses supervision has been developed as part of the academic activities of faculty members who meet the requirements for this position, namely, holding a doctorate and possessing accredited research experience. The promotion of supervision or co-supervision of doctoral theses is in accordance with the UAM's Official Doctoral Studies Regulations (Art. 10.7), according to which thesis supervision and supervision of doctoral students will be recognized as part of the faculty members' teaching and research commitment.

Grants for beginning studies in Postgraduate Programs

Preamble: Organic Law 4/2007, of April 12, which modifies the Organic Law on Universities, entrusts the University, among other functions, with the preparation for the exercise of professional activities that require the application of scientific knowledge and methods, as well as lifelong learning.

Official postgraduate studies aim to specialize students in their academic, professional, or research training and are organized into programs leading to master's and doctoral degrees.

The first phase of the postgraduate program, the Master's program, ultimately aims to provide university graduates with advanced, specialized, or multidisciplinary training.

In the European Higher Education Area, master's degrees are therefore an essential aspect of training future professionals and a path to a research career through a doctorate.

In recent years, the Autonomous University of Madrid has made a significant effort to create a range of postgraduate studies
spacious and high quality.

This call is intended to support postgraduate studies by granting grants according to the following guidelines:

The granting of aid under this call will be carried out in accordance with the following procedure:

Number and purpose of the grants: 1. 170 grants are being offered for starting studies in UAM postgraduate programs. These grants will be awarded on a public, objective, and competitive basis. A maximum of 30 of these grants may be renewed for those who have completed the training period.
These grants are intended to support university students beginning Master's Degrees or Doctoral Program Training Periods at the UAM, aimed at completing a doctoral thesis.

Good practices in thesis supervision

Some universities have currently developed their codes of good practice, a summary of which is detailed below. These are the Autonomous University of Madrid, the University of Alicante, the University of the Balearic Islands, and the Jaume I University. The University of La Laguna also has a document certifying the commitment to preparing doctoral theses. The universities of Huelva, Alcalá de Henares, and Rey Juan Carlos are currently developing their codes of good practice:

In this regard, each of the participating universities has implemented the following actions and best practices to promote doctoral thesis supervision:

The UAM adheres to the recommendations of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the recruitment of researchers (March 11, 2005)

The European Charter for Researchers brings together a series of general principles and requirements that specify the role, responsibilities, and rights of researchers and of the entities that employ and/or fund researchers. The Charter's objective is to ensure that the relationship between researchers and funders or employers is conducive to the generation, transfer, distribution, and dissemination of knowledge and technological advances, as well as the professional development of researchers. The Charter also recognizes the value of all forms of mobility as a means of enhancing the professional development of researchers. In this way, the Charter constitutes a framework within which researchers (at all levels) and funders and employers are invited to act responsibly and professionally in their work environment and to give each other the necessary recognition.

In relation to research, the UAM has established a Research Ethics Committee, which aims to provide a swift and effective response to current or future needs regarding scientific research carried out in its field, in order to protect the fundamental rights of individuals, the well-being of animals and the environment, and to respect the bioethical principles and commitments assumed by the scientific community and by the statutes of the Autonomous University of Madrid.

The University of Alicante adopted, at the meeting of the Postgraduate Studies Committee held on May 6, 2013 and in accordance with Royal Decree 99/2011, the following Code of Good Practices of the Doctoral School, to be adopted by its researchers, including doctoral students, tutors, and doctoral thesis supervisors.

1.- Freedom of research.
Researchers must focus their work on the good of humanity and the expansion of the frontiers of scientific knowledge, thereby recognizing their freedom of thought and expression, as well as the freedom to determine problem-solving methods, with due respect for recognized ethical principles and practices.
2.- Ethical principles.
Researchers will respect the recognized ethical practices and fundamental ethical principles corresponding to their disciplines, as well as the ethical standards contained in the various national, sectoral, and institutional codes of ethics.
In particular, this declaration entails appropriate respect for the dignity of human beings, especially when they are the subject of experimentation. It also implies the recognition that research that threatens human health or dignity should not be promoted in any scientific field (natural, social, or humanities).
3.- Professional responsibility.
Researchers must assume a series of responsibilities in the exercise of their scientific activity. In particular, they must foster ethical reflection so that their work contributes to the advancement of knowledge and, ultimately, to improving living conditions in the future, rather than deteriorating them.
In this regard, researchers will do everything possible to ensure that their work is relevant to society, and under no circumstances should it duplicate the work previously done by others. Any type of plagiarism must be avoided, and the principle of intellectual property or joint ownership of data must be respected when research is carried out in collaboration with other researchers.
4.- Contractual and legal obligations.
Every researcher must be familiar with and comply with national, sectoral, and institutional regulations governing training and/or work conditions. This includes regulations on intellectual and industrial property rights, legal requirements regarding data protection and confidentiality, and the conditions of any potential sponsoring entity. In this regard, researchers must request all necessary permits before beginning their work or accessing the resources provided.
5.- Good practices in research.
Researchers must follow safe work practices at all times, taking the necessary precautions regarding personal and environmental health and safety. The guidelines established by the University of Alicante's Occupational Health and Safety Subdirectorate will be especially taken into account.
6.- Accountability.
Research trainees must bear in mind that they are accountable to the Doctoral School and the University, as well as, for ethical reasons, to society as a whole. As those responsible for the public funds they receive, they must ensure proper, transparent, and effective management of such resources and cooperate with any authorized audits related to their research.
7.- Supervision of researchers in training.
Generally speaking, thesis advisors and supervisors are responsible for advising and guiding doctoral students in order to achieve their training expectations. To this end, they must interact personally and regularly with the junior researchers under their supervision, supervising the training process in accordance with the highest professional standards.
Specifically, the supervisor will periodically monitor the work carried out by the doctoral student in order to assess the progress of the research according to the defined schedule, as well as to identify and resolve any problems detected during the execution of the project.
8.- Rights and duties of researchers in training.
The rights and obligations of research trainees are generally outlined in the Internal Regulations of the Doctoral School of the University of Alicante. Doctoral students must maintain a structured and regular relationship with their tutors and thesis supervisors, actively participating in their training process. They must keep an up-to-date record of all their research activities, as well as the results of their work.
9.- Dissemination and exploitation of research.
The dissemination and exploitation of the results derived from research activity constitutes an essential obligation of this activity. Therefore, doctoral students must ensure that the results of their work are disseminated and made useful through scientific publications, conference presentations, as well as through their transfer to other research contexts or even to the productive sector, including their commercialization.
To this end, thesis supervisors and tutors are required to ensure the fruitful nature of the research of the doctoral students they supervise, establishing the necessary conditions for effective knowledge transfer by contributing to and promoting its dissemination and use through scientific journals and publications.
10.- Conflict resolution.
Any potential conflicts that may arise during the doctoral stage between the University, the doctoral student, the thesis supervisor, and the tutor will be resolved in accordance with the procedure established by regulations.
Final provision.- All the designations contained in this Code that are made in the masculine gender will be understood to be made and subtilized indistinctly in the masculine or feminine gender, according to the sex of the person to whom it refers.

The training of doctors is one of the objectives of the University of Alcala. Facilitating the supervision of doctoral theses by its faculty and the possibility of completing them by its students is a fundamental starting point for establishing Doctoral Schools with guaranteed success.

The existence of a Guide to Good Practices, approved by the Official Postgraduate Studies Committee on October 17, 2012, for the preparation of doctoral theses, confirms the University of Alcalá's commitment to ensuring the quality of research, as it provides guidelines for the various stakeholders: administration, doctoral students, and the University. The following is a brief overview of the points reflected in this Guide:

The University
The competent bodies of the University that must regulate the research process and the presentation of the doctoral thesis are described.
The Directorate of Labor
Supervising a thesis requires a considerable commitment, in addition to the transfer of a significant portion of the supervisor's knowledge and experience to the doctoral student. It requires dedication and availability from the supervisor, as well as the ability to work hard and lead research projects in which the students can be integrated.

Doctoral theses may be supervised or co-supervised at the university itself or at other universities and institutions, so the duties of a thesis supervisor must be tailored to the circumstances. In all cases, the following will be addressed:
· Presentation of the thesis director: his/her characteristics, functions and responsibilities.
· How to ensure the quality of work management.
· The distinction between the work of the director and that of the tutor.
The PhD student
Doctoral students also assume a responsibility by agreeing to participate in a research program through a written commitment signed by the University, the doctoral student, their tutor, and their supervisor. The requirement for this document is reflected in Article 11.8 of Royal Decree 99/2011, of January 28, which regulates official doctoral programs. This section will address:
· The work of the doctoral student, his/her rights and obligations.
· The selection and assignment of the thesis director.
· Ethical principles.
· Professional responsibility. Confidentiality and data protection, custody and preservation of documentation, records, data, samples, and research materials.

The preparation of the doctoral thesis. The following will be detailed:
· The research plan.
· The description of the basic requirements that this research work must meet, elements, structure, style, documentation, its presentation and defense.
· The publication and dissemination of results derived from the preparation of the doctoral thesis.

Thesis Memory
The thesis report is the final document that chronicles the research conducted and serves as a summary and report. While there is no universally applicable format, this Guide does provide a general guideline for the sections that every thesis report should include. Since the report varies according to the two possible formats—the classic report format and the report as a compilation of publications—specific recommendations are offered for each model.

Conflict resolution.
The procedure for resolving conflicts that may arise between the University, the doctoral student, the thesis supervisor, the tutor, and, where applicable, the co-supervisor, during the development of the doctoral program is described.

In the UNIVERSITY OF THE BALEARIC ISLANDS The Code of Good Practices with
The rights and obligations of the supervisor, tutor, and doctoral student are the models adopted by the University of the Balearic Islands to establish a guide of good practices for the direction and monitoring of the training activities of doctoral students and their doctoral thesis. In more detail, through the implementation of Royal Decree 99/2011, the Regulations for the Organization of University Doctoral Studies at the University of the Balearic Islands specify the guidelines for the supervision of doctoral theses in Articles 9 to 13.

The JAUME I UNIVERSITY Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, regulating official doctoral studies, establishes in Article 9.8 that "All members of a Doctoral School must sign their commitment to comply with the code of good practice adopted by said School." Furthermore, Annex I of this Royal Decree specifies that a list of activities planned to promote the supervision of doctoral theses and the existence of a guide to good practices for their supervision must be included.

Following these guidelines, the Universitat Jaume I has begun developing a Guide to Good Practices for the Supervision and Supervision of Doctoral Theses, which will include the rights and obligations of doctoral students, as well as those of tutors and thesis supervisors.

Regarding the rights and obligations of doctoral students, the following will be established: admission, monitoring and periodic supervision of their research, research plan and doctoral thesis, national and international stays, publication, protection, and dissemination of thesis results.

Regarding tutors and thesis supervisors, the corresponding rights and responsibilities will be established. Finally, the procedure for disseminating and promoting the Guide to Good Practices will also be included.

Planned activities that encourage multiple supervision in academically justified cases

The Doctoral Program in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies provides for the co-supervision of a doctoral thesis in certain circumstances:

a) When the research is carried out in two research centres.
b) When it is the first doctoral thesis directed by a professor.
c) When requested by the doctoral student, studying the justification of the request.
The participation of international experts is not mandatory; however, in academically justified cases, the presence of international experts will be required on monitoring committees, preliminary reports, and thesis review committees. This PhD program will strive to maintain and increase, as necessary, the participation of other international professors and experts on monitoring committees, in the issuance of reports prior to the presentation of doctoral theses, and on thesis review committees. Regarding the issuance of reports and
Participation in tribunals It must be said that this doctoral program will continue with the network of agreed and non-agreed collaborations that the different institutes and departments now integrated into the present program have already been carrying out. (see 1.4). Regarding the participation of professors and experts in the program's monitoring committee, and given the novelty of these committees with respect to the previous doctoral programs, the program plans to integrate into its monitoring committee at least one of the visiting professors belonging to the centers, universities and research institutes with which the program maintains multiple and diverse collaborations.
