The ULPGC Doctoral School is also committed to guaranteeing the mobility of those students who cannot benefit from regional, national and European mobility programmes. To this end, it will have the necessary budgetary measures in place. The ULL has its own Research Aid Plan, which provides for the granting of grants to doctoral students in two modalities. The first consists of financial aid for stays in national and foreign research centres, of varying amounts depending on the place where they are carried out. The second modality consists of financial aid for the presentation of research papers at scientific conferences and meetings. The specific regulations for these calls can be consulted on the ULL website. ULL website.

Furthermore, the Academic Committee will make the necessary contacts, at the request of the doctoral thesis supervisor, to facilitate stays for a period of three months or more at an international centre, in order to promote the International Doctoral Mention in doctoral theses that wish to opt for it. The flexibility in the development of the mobility stay (adding several stays or doing it in a single year) aims to facilitate the realization of this activity for students enrolled part-time. The Academic Committee may recognize mobility activities prior to the enrollment in the Program.

Mobility

Training activities 1, 2, and 3 will be assessed by the teaching staff. Activity 3 will also take into account the opinion of the thesis supervisor, who will evaluate the comments received by each student from external evaluators. Regarding weighting, Activity 4 will be assessed based on proof of attendance at the 20 hours of lectures and seminars (the Academic Committee will provide students with a specific form for such accreditation, which must be supervised by the event organizer). Each training activity is assessed with a maximum of 10 points, which will result from the sum of each of the proposed criteria. Mobility activity 5 will be assessed by the Academic Committee based on the report of the person responsible for the stay and the accreditation thereof.

Number of hours: 160

Character: Mandatory

Full-time students: Depending on the specific needs of each job (they can be developed continuously or intermittently)

Part-time students: Depending on the specific needs of each job (they can be carried out consecutively or intermittently)

Description: Each doctoral student must complete at least one stay at a research center, university, or documentation center (archives, libraries, museums), preferably international, although this may be changed to a similar institution in Spain if the type of work required. The combined length of the stay, at the end of the training period, is at least one month. The purpose of this stay is to attend specific courses and research seminars and exchange experiences with other researchers, consult documentation necessary for the thesis project, or acquire specific training in a specific methodology. 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 academic committee of the doctoral program. 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, the student must prove it and preferably complete it at any of the foreign institutions with which collaboration agreements have been signed, although other collaborations may also be signed in the future that are more in line with the topic of each student's thesis.

Contents: They will vary, depending on the topic of the thesis project.
