PhD Program in Logic and Philosophy of Science

Mobility

  • Language of instruction: Spanish/English/Language of host country
  • Duration of activity: More than one month and less than six.
  • Justification of the activity (skills to be acquired by the students): To promote multidisciplinary integration and internationalisation not only of each of the doctoral students who take part in the mobility programmes, but also of the doctoral programme itself. The specific skills to be acquired through the mobility activities will coincide with those described for training activities 3, 4 and 6, in which the mobility grants and activities will be applied.
  • Learning outcomes: Demonstrate the ability to integrate and work in other groups. Exchange knowledge and research results. Express oneself in another language.
  • Contents: The mobility activities are aimed at promoting the exchange and mobility of students in the Doctoral Program in Logic and Philosophy of Science through the mobility programs and grants that may be established or to which the students may attend, which allow them to carry out some of the training activities designed in this program. Specifically, the following are intended: (1) To promote the attendance and participation of doctoral students enrolled in the program in training activities that are developed in other national or foreign universities or research centers, which are related to the lines of research included in the doctoral program and may be of interest to researchers in training. (2) Facilitate the completion of stays of more than one month and not more than six (except in those cases where there is a prior agreement to carry out part of the Thesis at the host research centre) in foreign research centres of recognised prestige, carrying out research work that is relevant to their doctoral training and the development of the doctoral thesis and allows enriching the lines of research of the different research groups integrated in the programme.
  • Planning. Temporary organization of the activity for full-time or part-time students: The Academic Committee will promote that all doctoral students in the program can carry out at least one of each of the training activities that require mobility grants, specifically: (1) In collaboration with the tutor and/or director of each doctoral student, it will facilitate their attendance, from the second year until the end of their doctoral training period, to a scientific conference or meeting, as well as to courses that may be of interest for their training. (2) It will keep updated the information on existing collaborations between the Doctoral Program and other research groups that cover the different research lines of the program and the specific training interests of each doctoral student and make it possible for all of them to opt for a stay throughout their doctoral training period. (3) The assignment of exchanges and mobility activities in each case will be carried out in the order of request to the Academic Committee, one per student in each of the possible modalities: attendance at conferences and presentation of communications, attendance at courses and research stays. (4) The temporary organisation of mobility for each student will be proposed by agreement between the doctoral student and his/her tutor and/or thesis director. When it comes to programming a research stay, the programming must be reflected in a mobility plan related to the research plan in which the objectives, duration, research centre and the researcher responsible at said centre are specified. (5) In all cases, the Academic Committee will evaluate the mobility proposal of each doctoral student, within its plan of activities and will decide on its approval with or without modifications.
  • Planning: Human resources for its development: The inter-university nature of the programme provides a natural framework that guarantees the mobility of students between the different participating universities, so that the realization of this training activity does not require specific human resources other than those of the Programme itself. In addition, the CAPD will promote the signing of new mobility agreements for doctoral students and professors with other entities and institutions. These agreements will generally be formalized once the activity of the doctoral programme begins. Likewise, there are other ways that promote these mobility actions, such as agreements between different research groups, mobility programs subsidized by public or private entities, such as those of the Ministry of Education within the call for Mention towards Excellence, European/International Mention, or any other included in the Framework Programme of the European Union.
  • Planning. Material resources for its development: As mobility aids intended to promote training activities of types 3 and 4, there are two programs of the Vice-Rectorate of Research of the University of Salamanca, managed through the Research Management Agency . The rest of the universities also have research support services: University of La Laguna University of A Coruña University of Santiago de Compostela University of Valladolid University of Valencia (a) Mobility of Research Staff and (b) Dissemination of Results In addition, all research groups allocate part of their project budget to partially finance the attendance of researchers to scientific conferences and meetings, where they can communicate and present their results. In order to encourage doctoral students to undertake at least one stay during their doctoral training period, the Doctoral Programme will participate in calls for applications for excellence or other international, national or regional calls that contemplate and facilitate the subsequent participation of doctoral students in calls for mobility grants.
  • Assessment and control procedure: Mobility will not imply an assessment or control different from that established in each of the activities that require it, so in each case the procedures described for training activities 3, 4 or 6 will be applied, as appropriate.
  • Observations: This activity is voluntary.
