Thesis supervisor

Can all doctoral programmes submit a project to the Industrial Doctorates Plan?

Yes, any doctoral programme in any of the UPC’s areas of knowledge can participate in the Industrial Doctorates Plan call.

What steps do universities and companies need to take?

In order to submit the application form, the candidate must have been chosen and the collaboration agreement have been signed. The agreement template must be requested from doctorat.industrial@upc.edu and completed by the thesis supervisor, the company and any other entities involved. Then it must be sent to the same email address so that it can be revised by the UPC’s Doctoral School and the UPC’s Legal Services Area before it is signed.

The documents that must be submitted to the Government of Catalonia via the Virtual Citizen Care Office are the following:

• Collaboration agreement between the UPC and the company (request the template from doctorat.industrial@upc.edu)
  

• Minutes of the meeting at which the candidate was chosen (see template)

• Academic transcript of the candidate (not necessarily of payment)

• Letter of admission of the candidate to the corresponding doctoral programme (they must request it through the online application)
