PhD Program in Atlantic Islands

Mobility

  • Number of hours: 160 (one month, twenty working days x eight hours per day, for both full-time and part-time students)
  • Description:
    • Stay at a research center, documentation center, or foreign university related to the doctoral program.
  • Monitoring procedure: The acquisition of the skills and abilities during the internship will be accredited by completing a written report of between 6,000 and 7,000 words on the specific activities carried out, and the achievement of the objectives for the doctoral thesis and listed in the training activities plan.
  • Mobility Activities: Each doctoral student must complete at least one stay at an international research center, which, combined, will amount to at least one month at the end of the training period. The purpose of this stay will be to attend specific courses and research seminars and exchange experiences with other researchers. The thesis supervisor, in collaboration with the tutor and the doctoral student, will schedule these stays; they will be included in each doctoral student's training activity plan and must, therefore, be approved by the doctoral academic committee. The flexibility in the development of the mobility stay (including several stays or completing them in a single year) is intended to facilitate this activity for students enrolled part-time. For the purposes of verifying mobility, students may undertake this activity at any of the foreign institutions with which collaboration agreements have been signed and which are listed in the corresponding annex to this proposal.
