The aim of this activity is for doctoral students to learn about the latest research being carried out within their program in order to establish collaborations between different lines of research. Furthermore, these types of activities allow doctoral students to learn about topics other than their own and expand their knowledge in the field of Health Sciences.

Through the virtual campus IT platform, doctoral students will have access to teaching materials and related assignments on different topics of interest to the research lines of the Doctoral Program included in different seminars. For each seminar, analysis and synthesis exercises will be scheduled for doctoral students to complete individually, with the aim of strengthening their critical thinking and written expression skills.

1. Students have access to teaching materials and seminar assignments offered by the Doctoral Program in Health Sciences related to the areas of Medical Sciences, Nutrition, and Food Technology through the Virtual Campus computer platform.
2. Seminars can be completed at the student's convenience (the deadline for completing the activities is set in the annual calendar proposed by EIDUCAM).
3. For each seminar, students must watch the videoconference and presentation. Afterwards, they will have to complete two assignments on the Virtual Campus:
   • A multiple-choice questionnaire. Once completed and submitted, it will be corrected automatically and if all the answers are correct (students will have 5 attempts to get it right), they will be able to access the next assignment.
   • Prepare a report in PDF format on the content of the seminar and include it in the corresponding assignment. The report will consist of a summary of approximately 600 words and must include at least three bibliographic references (according to Vancouver standards) related to the seminar's area of study.
4. The person responsible for the activity will correct the reports and grade them as Pass or Fail. If the report is graded as Fail, the student will have to make the indicated corrections and resubmit it before the submission deadline (unlimited resubmissions).
5. Once the assessment is complete, a certificate will be issued for each seminar passed. Students must upload this certificate to the corresponding activity in LAUREA ACADEMIC, where it must be validated by their tutor.

Students who have taken seminars outside the doctoral program must upload the corresponding certificates to LAUREA ACADEMIC, which will be validated by the tutor. Seminar certificates will be issued and sent to the student's “@alu.ucam.edu” email address at the end of the academic year.

The activity may be recognized if you hold a DEA, Suficiencia Investigadora, or Doctorate degree. Seminars proposed by another doctoral school may also be recognized. To do so, you must upload the corresponding certificates to LAUREA ACADEMIC, and your tutor will evaluate and validate them if appropriate.
