Research stays at other national and international centers (UC, ULL, UNIOVI, UPV/EHU and UPC)
It is an optional activity
Frequency: To be defined with the tutor
Brief description of the activity: The doctoral program promotes the completion of Type A theses, that is, those that include a stay abroad (which allows them to obtain the international citation for the doctoral degree) and high-quality scientific publications. Therefore, it is recommended that all students complete at least a three-month stay at an international research center during their doctoral studies. These stays will primarily serve the purpose of conducting part of their research, but are considered a fundamental element in the doctoral program's training, as they will involve: exposure to other educational and research systems, access to seminars and courses offered at other universities, improving their knowledge of a second language, and developing their own network of contacts. All of these are fundamental aspects of a doctoral student's training.
The student's tutor must develop or supervise the work plan to be completed by the student during the stay. This work plan must clearly state the set of objectives to be achieved and how to verify them.
Dedication regime: The basic data, control procedures, planning and organization of this activity are the same for students with full-time or part-time dedication.
It is expected that with this activity the student will be able to demonstrate the acquisition of the CB12, CA03, CA04 and CA05 competencies.
1. The tutor or director will monitor the activity through the report issued by the doctoral student's supervisor at the institution where the mobility stay was carried out. In this regard, the student's tutor must prepare or supervise the work plan to be carried out by the student during the stay. This work plan must explicitly state the set of objectives to be achieved and how to verify them. Monitoring the stay will be the responsibility of the thesis supervisor, to whom the doctoral student must communicate progress and changes with respect to the planned schedule. Once the stay is completed, the doctoral student must submit an activity report. Based on this report, the thesis supervisor and tutor will approve (if applicable) the completion of the planned scientific activities.
2. This document will form part of the doctoral student's activity document (DAD).
The PhD Program in NAUTICAL, MARINE, AND NAVAL RADIOELECTRONIC ENGINEERING will encourage its doctoral trainee researchers to undertake internships at prestigious national or international research centers for at least three months. To this end, the universities offering this program, as well as other public institutions (Ministry of Education, IFIMAV, Ministry of Public Works, and others), may regularly offer mobility grants for research trainees ("Doctoral Candidates").
Likewise, the participation of foreign experts in thesis committees and monitoring committees will be encouraged, as has been the case in the doctoral programs that are being phased out, predecessors of the current one, taught by the various Nautical Departments.
When planning mobility activities, the specific characteristics of part-time research trainees must be taken into account.
