This doctoral programme is designed for architects or graduates in the humanities, archaeology or fine arts who hold a master’s degree in architecture, archaeology or the humanities, identical or equivalent to the master’s programme offered by the Department and who wish to write a doctoral thesis on the history or theory of arts and architecture supervised by one of the professors from the Department. The creation of this thesis may require bridging courses be taken from the master’s programme, as the doctoral programme does not offer classes.

The thesis, on a novel subject matter or taking a new approach, supported by primary and secondary sources, drafted in English or Spanish, on a topic involving the history or theory of art or architecture, will be carried out in two stages: the first, a year of research during which candidates will come up with a research plan that must be submitted to and approved of by a panel, and the second, the execution of said thesis. Thesis supervisors and the Doctoral Committee, along with two external reports, will assess and accept the thesis before it may be presented to an examination committee.

The department will provide candidates with access to the library and School databases.

General information

Access profile

Given the multidisciplinary nature of the scientific field of the programme, there are a wide range of degrees that qualify applicants for admission.

In general, the programme is directed at those who are interested and who, in addition to meeting the standard credit requirements, are prepared and have interest in carrying out research with assistance from the professors in the programme. Thus, preference will be given to applicants that have previously completed a master’s programme in a related subject matter and are interested in the lines of research considered in the programme, and who are mature, able to express themselves clearly and have research experience.

Specific admission requirements
To give more detail, applicants’ academic backgrounds must meet the following requirements:
Candidates must have completed undergraduate and master’s studies in architecture, geography, history, history of art or the humanities (or less similar fields such as archaeology, journalism, tourism, etc.) and must be interested in carrying out doctoral-level research in an area related to the theory and history of architecture, art and cities. Compliance with these requirements will be assessed by weighting the measures that follow:
• The appropriateness of applicants’ undergraduate and master’s background in terms of contents and performance.
• Level of maturity, measured via candidates’ explanations of their academic backgrounds, research interests and motivations.
• Previous research experience via collaborations and publications in which the candidate has participated.
• Similarity of the proposal with programme research groups’ and professors’ lines of work.
It is important that applicants’ academic intentions and interests line up with the areas and lines of research that are followed by professors in this doctoral programme.
You can find information about said master’s programme at the following link: https://www.upc.edu/es/masteres/estudios-avanzados-en-arquitectura-barcelona-mbarch.

The following requirements have also been established:

• Applicants must have command of Spanish and English; knowledge of other languages will be considered positively, as it allows access to a wide range of bibliographic resources.
• In order to define what bridging courses will be necessary for students to be admitted to the programme, the applicant’s background and research experience will be considered.

Duration of studies and dedication regime

Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.

When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.

Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.

Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.

Extension of studies
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

More information at the PhD theses section

Permanence

The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

    Thesis abstract: Hegemonic organization of space and architecture as its essential means respond to political and economic intentions whose determination is out of most people’s reach. Representations of dominant practices are embedded in the order and form of space, reaching the spaces and practices of everyday life. The reform of architecture alone has been understood as insufficient in addressing the imbalance of power, indicating the necessity of more fundamental changes in the societal context that architecture depends on. The possible politics of space that would be based on decentralization and inhabitants’ self-determination have been approached theoretically. However, investigations into architectural practices that are, in fact, taking place in counter-hegemonic contexts are few. This study investigated architecture that emerges within the prefiguration of social change, focusing on social movements whose autonomous politics are characterized by horizontal, egalitarian, and non-capitalist principles. The research questions were: What are the characteristics of architectural decision-making, and, what are the characteristics of the architecture carried out in occupied, largely self-built autonomous geographies? The research was based on grounded theory and was guided by simultaneous collection and analysis of data as well as theoretical sampling. Data was collected in three different autonomous geographies in Central Europe. The methods of data collection were participant observation, drawing, mapping, and interviews. The analysis was based on qualitative coding and followed the constant comparative method. The study found first that, in the examined geographies, the collective organization of space is carried out in a direct democratic, transparent manner. Collective decision-making highlights the direct participation of everyone in relevant decisions, from the founding principles of organization to the specific patterns and forms of space. Second, the collective organization of space is voluntary and partial. It is combined with decentralization of decision-making and individual autonomy of intervening in space. Autonomy facilitates a certain freedom to transform space and the social relations implied within, beyond their collective determination. In the examined geographies, spatial organization develops through simultaneous collective and autonomous interventions in a partially non-planned manner. Third, the inhabitants question the property of space and the permanence of architectural form. The open, common, and malleable nature of space enables its transformation according to horizontal lines, referring directly to the inhabitants present. The findings provide new insights into an architecture based on the politics of participation. While the study supports previous theorizations, one of its main contributions is the elaboration of architectural participation as it relates to the shifting negotiation between the individual and the collective. Furthermore, the principal theoretical implication of this study is the questioning and negation of overarching planning that the findings suggest. Instead of exhaustive instruments such as the urban plan, the findings indicate a less invasive idea of coordination-in-space that arises voluntarily from the bottom up. Finally, while questioning certain precepts of normative planning, the study also indicates directions to explore further the possibilities of an indeterminate, horizontal organization of space.

    Thesis abstract: The doctoral thesis revolves around the ninth CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) held in Aix-en-Provence in 1953. It focuses on the work presented by some European architects who were working in cultural contexts foreign to their own. Faced with the need to understand the “cultural other,” they incorporated into their work elements of ethnographic fieldwork. The main hypothesis of the research is that there is an ethnographic turn in the work of these modern architects, stemming from the necessity to approach the vital needs of a society different from their own.The CIAM IX took place in Provence to celebrate the opening of the Unité d'Habitation in Marseille the previous year, and on its rooftop, the 25-year history of CIAM was commemorated. The chosen debate topic was human habitat, with the primary goal of the gathering being the drafting of a Habitat Charter to complement the Athens Charter. The aim was to end the meeting with a solemn declaration proclaiming the right to housing for all human beings. The thesis explores the precise moment when the idea of working on a Habitat Charter was born. It reconstructs the “grids” presented by the CIAM groups from Algiers and Morocco, delving into the analytical study tools they used to understand the built realities of the Maghreb. In the context of profound transformations in international geopolitics following World War II, some architects and urban planners working in Morocco and Algeria were sensitive to the social and cultural realities with which they worked, developing studies, policies, and housing projects for Muslim populations. These architects adhered to the tenets of the functional city but adapted them to the specificities of the context in which they worked. They anticipated the industrialized future that Morocco and Algeria would achieve, participating in an economy of international exchange and acknowledging that they were working with a society in full transformation. For this reason, they aimed to develop a habitat capable of integrating into this changing society. We owe these architects the attention directed toward cities made of barrels and other industrial waste, as well as their insight that these constructed forms held lessons for modern architecture and the city.The doctoral thesis also addresses contributions presented at the congress focusing on the study of inhabited spaces in non-industrialized societies. The study and debate on the inhabited space of “primitive peoples” were represented by a group of young architecture students from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, who presented extensive documentation compiled after a long stay in Cameroon. In this context, some architects at the congress praised the lessons of architecture produced by “primitive societies,” which, without our industrialized technical skills, were able to shape their habitats through a singular worldview, a culture so balanced and just in meeting its needs that it appeared beautiful to the eyes of modern architects.The CIAM in Aix-en-Provence ended without successfully drafting the Habitat Charter. What remains from that time is a spirit and an energy from an era when architects and urban planners aspired to address the housing problem on a large scale. They were idealists who saw the need to collaborate with diverse disciplines, experimenting with ethnographic methods without formal training and approaching sociology to restore dignity to human habitats.

The administrative instruments established for this purpose, which were known as the Comisiones Provinciales de Monumentos Históricos y Artísticos, were introduced in 1844.The operation of this Commission in Lleida faced difficulties from the very start, some of which were shared by other commissions and which included a lack of authority, limited support from authorities, insufficient economic resources, and circumstances arising from the unprecedented nature of such ventures. Other issues were more specific to Lleida itself and included the fact that many board members were self-educated, as well as the balance between progressive and conservative political factions, the closed co-optation system, and the Church's control over the Commission itself. Remoteness was also a decisive factor. Madrid was a considerable distance from Lleida, and the provincial region, both vast and poorly connected, exacerbated the perception of cultural and physical difference.Parallel to the birth of the Renaixença, the most dynamic cultural figures from the peripheral society of Lleida (Centre Excursionista de Lleida or Ateneu Lleidatà) organized themselves to promote awareness initiatives within the context of the currents of new, national, and modern culture that were emerging in Catalonia beyond the official scope of the Commission. The most significant elements of heritage were valued as being a "living proof" of a history that was being brought back to the fore. It went from using broad descriptive terms such as "treasures", "jewels", and "beauties" in the 19th century, to shift towards the specific “artistic legacy of our past”, and a common heritage. This was an idea of heritage that was intended to improve the cultural conditions of the populace and facilitate their awareness and progress.This thesis studies the Commission's day-to-day activities in Lleida. Based on records preserved since 1866 at the Institut d'Estudis Ilerdencs, the sluggish creation of an awareness to heritage sensitivity is revealed, demonstrating the Commission's inhibitions, or its incapacity to take action in specific cases, while analysing its relations with other bodies that focused on heritage.In Catalonia, a profound interest in heritage had been fostered by the work of some architects with the rambling associations. While traveling throughout the region, Lluís Domènech i Montaner educated his students in the wealth of Catalan architectural heritage. Some of them would later go on to work with initiatives undertaken by the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya, in the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, and in the Servei de Conservació i Catalogació de Monuments, which was created by the Mancomunitat de Catalunya in 1914. Two important examples here concern the architects Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Jeroni Martorell i Terrats.During this process, architectural styles that had been disregarded up until then due to their lack of ornamentation, such as the Romanesque and the austere Gothic, were to acquire greater appreciation. Simultaneously, the robustness and sobriety of these architectural styles would go on to shape the image of the national construction project.The impact of this project, however, was not uniform everywhere and the initiatives took on characteristics of their own, due to the economic, social, and cultural differences that modified the pace and effects of the transformation.The contrast between the actions of the Commission and of the other entities, based on the content of the records and publications in a peripheral regional context, reveals the positions, conflicts, and failures, as well as those cases that were successful, while providing several lessons on the conservation of Catalan architectural heritage.

    Thesis abstract: German architect Hans Scharoun's (1893-1972) body of work (written, drawn and constructed) pays careful attention to the urban phenomenon of the modern city. One of the aims of this study is to indicate Scharoun's journey to rethink the city in a way which differed from that which was proposed by the neue Sachlichkeit or by the Charter of Athens in order to propose an organic approach which was similar to the approach taken by Hugo Häring, whose work held in high regard.In order to demonstrate Scharoun's continued interest in urban matters, the doctoral thesis will be structured into two parts. The first studies the architect's urban projects in chronological order up until the outbreak of WWII and the second explores postwar Scharoun's key concepts of urban matters.The impact of Camillo Sitte's work on Scharoun is reflected in the Dortmund and Prenzlau competitions which took place in 1919, his entry into expressionist circles is reflected in the glimpses of the Stadtkrone drawn for Gelsenkirchen (1920) and his definitive conversion to the principles of organicism becomes apparent in the competitions for Königsberg (1922) and Bochum (1925). Scharoun's return to Berlin throws him into the creative whirlwind of the great modern metropolis. He participated in the Friedrichstraße competition (1921), the ministerial gardens competition (1927) and the Reichstag extension competition (1927). Likewise, he built his first residential developments with private developers that would lead to his great commission of the interwar period, the Groβsiedlung Siemensstadt (1929-30).The organic and expressionist architecture of the German Neues Bauen in the interwar period lays the foundations for a new concept of city after the Second World War, alongside a need for the German culture to be rebuilt and a physically and mentally drained continent awaiting a social reformulation to redeem it.Hans Scharoun stood out amongst his peers for remaining in Germany during and after the Second World War. Within him the theoretical concepts of medieval city construction and baroque updated by Camillo Sitte, Hugo Häring's theories on organic architecture and new visions of the world of philosophers such as Jean Gebser or Ernst Cassirer come together to be able to propose not only a new architecture, but also a new vision of urban planning based on historical, human and spatial values.This research maintains that this new urban order arises from the concepts of Aperspective space outlined by Jean Gebser, of treating the city like a Satdtlandschaft (urban landscape) being manageable from the medium scale proposed by Scharoun via his design of the Wohnzelle (dwelling cells), first proposed in Friedrichshain and later of the Wohngehöfte (dwelling homesteads) in Charlottenburg-Nord. It also examines the mutative transformation in all possible scales at the moment of design and of the ever-present idea of a Raum der Mitte (central space) to which the whole design refers via the regulating lines.The thesis recovers three texts which have been left out of Scharoun's historiography, but which were published in Medizin und Städtebau (1957): "The urban structure and its transformation throughout history", "Organizational principles and concepts that can lead to urban structure" and "The meaning of spatial structure for the future of the city". Within these the mature Scharoun brings together his concern for a holistic explanation of the urban form, its transformation over time and its geographical scope as a mental framework to redesign the city.Hans Scharoun slowly decanted a theory and certain urban practices denoting the conditions for a new "organic" city, but also paved the way for a deontology of public space in a city that aspired to be more humane.

    Thesis abstract: The present work addresses the brief and complex moment of the turn from the 19th to the 20th century from the perspective of the history of architecture. The objective is to explore the architecture of the end of the century in Uruguay and its relationship with the country's modernization and consolidation processes. To do this, it proposes from a necessarily disciplinary perspective the scope of the proposals that collectively shaped the Uruguayan nation and capital during a short period of explosive growth.The proposed time cut takes as its beginning the year 1894, when the first architect graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics -the first architectural training institution in the country- and 1914, the last year of existence of that institution that later gave rise to the Faculty of Architecture (1915). Furthermore, 1914 was the year of the creation of the Society of Architects of Uruguay and the beginning of the First World War, among other important events that marked a general change in the situation.The architects working during that period emerged from a predominantly polytechnic professional training in the country, which became a field of opportunity for design and formal exploration. The qualities recognized in their works appeal to the professional responsibility of the collective construction of the necessary structures for the functioning of the State. Therefore, the starting point hypothesis of this is that at the beginning of the 20th century, the architects of the first generations of technicians trained in Uruguay assumed the responsibility of creating the architectures of the new nation.The work is structured into five chapters that address different aspects within the broad scope of the study. On the one hand, the people involved with the urban and architectural projects to assemble the nation are identified. The areas of professional training are investigated in terms of their composition and transformation throughout the period. The labor, professional, and corporate organizations are observed, as well as the debates and public demonstrations the architects carried out collectively.On the other hand, the works and projects of architecture are taken as manifestations of the modernization strategies deployed, both from the national scope of the entire territory and in the exponents of the city's urban life, particularly in the capital of the Republic. Thus, the structures associated with consolidating the state institution, those related to the healthcare project, and those of public education at all levels are included. In the same sense, the capital city is analyzed as an urban project of the nation. The actions of the technical body linked to the municipality are reviewed. The city project is addressed in two large areas: public life, through leisure structures, and private life, in housing.Finally, the idea of the constructions for the new nation is taken up and the country's first professionals' role in them is analyzed. A reflection is presented on the possible reasons for the analyzed phenomena ephemerality and repercussions. It has, to this day, incorporated a look at the historiographic and heritage assessment of the legacy of these architectures.This text aims to collaborate in generating architectural history knowledge that makes it possible to make visible and value the architectural and urban dimension carried out in Uruguay between 1894 and 1914, both in the disciplinary and cultural context, at the national level, and in possible international links. It is expected that this sharing will invite discussions and new inquiries into the various architectures carried out in Uruguay throughout its history.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
