Mobility

Mobility: Staying at another center

• Number of hours: 480
• Description:
  • Description: All parties involved in the training of doctoral students agree on the benefits of doing stays in other centres that can also allow obtaining the European or International Mention of the Doctoral Thesis and the Doctorate Degree. For this reason, the ULL contemplates and establishes a programme of aid for doing stays in other centres associated with the development of the doctoral thesis and the doctoral school encourages students to do them. This is an annual call for applications whose regulatory bases can be found at the following web address:
    The objective of the stay varies, but in general the aim is for students to obtain training in experimental techniques that complement their studies or characterizations that are not possible at the original center. The procedure that regulates how to carry out the procedures related to the application for the ULL International Mention can be found here here The student is required to work on this activity for 480 hours, which corresponds to a three-month stay at a foreign research centre. This duration is established because grants for stays are generally awarded for a maximum of three months per year of the thesis. This time is sufficient to achieve the objective of obtaining the international mention for the degree. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible for these grants.
  • Competencies: Competencies CB11-CB16, CA02-CA06 are worked on, according to the list of competencies in the title.
  • Nature: Optional, during the second or third year of the doctoral program.
  • Language: English
• Control procedure: The granting of the aid is of a competitive nature, so a report must be prepared in which the activity to be carried out is recorded and, upon completion, a report signed by a responsible researcher from the receiving centre must be provided, which in turn is reviewed by a scientific committee at the original centre, guaranteeing control of the activity.
• Mobility grants: Grants for stays generally have a maximum duration of three months per year of the thesis. This time is sufficient to achieve the objective of obtaining the international mention for the degree. Both full-time and part-time students can apply for these grants.
