Communication Congress / National Conference
Presentation of an oral or poster communication at a National Congress/Conference (Spanish territory). It can be at the Doctoral Days annually organized by EIDUCAM, provided that the student attends them. Doctoral students can participate in this activity from the time they are admitted to the program. The preparation of the communication and attendance at the congress is estimated to require approximately 5 days of work from the student.
Communication International Congress
Presentation of a paper (oral or poster) at an international conference. Doctoral students will research international conferences relevant to their field of study and, after obtaining approval from their supervisor, will register for the international conference and submit their paper in accordance with the rules and deadlines set by the conference's scientific committee. Doctoral students may participate in this activity from the moment they are admitted to the program.
Elaboration of Scientific Article or Patent
Publication of an original scientific article or bibliographic review in a prestigious international journal (indexed in JCR and with an impact factor) or a patent. Each doctoral student, guided by their supervisor, will select the journal(s) to which to submit their results, at the appropriate time. Doctoral students may participate in this activity from the moment they are admitted to the program, with a commitment of 160 hours over 4 years for full-time students and 7 years for part-time students.
National / International Stay
Research stay at an institution other than UCAM (university, research center, or company), which may be domestic or foreign, and always different from the doctoral student's place of work. Doctoral students may participate in this activity upon admission to the program. The stay must last a minimum of 3 months (480 hours, which may be divided into smaller periods) over 4 years for full-time students and over 5 years for part-time students.
Presentation Research Results to the Academic Committee of the Programme
Presentation of own research results and planning of research activities for the following year to the Programme's Academic Committee. A presentation of results will be made each year of enrolment in the programme, following the attached model, which must be signed by the supervisor(s).
Research Seminars
Participation in research seminars organized by different research groups, where the latest advances in the various lines of research linked to the program are discussed. Doctoral students may participate in this activity from the moment they are admitted to the program, with a commitment of 21 hours over 4 years for full-time students and 7 years for part-time students. The estimated time for each seminar will be 3 hours/seminar, so doctoral students must participate in at least 7 seminars during their years in the doctoral program.
Workshop for the Elaboration of the Research Plan and Training Plan
This activity aims to guide doctoral students in acquiring the necessary skills to complete the writing of their Research Plan report. It is carried out and evaluated on the Virtual Campus (CANVAS), where doctoral students will find training materials such as tutorials, videos, and other resources. Assigned tasks must be completed on the Virtual Campus for evaluation. The estimated time commitment for this activity is 25 hours and must be completed during the first five months of the program.
Workshop on Doctoral Thesis Preparation
Participation in a workshop on writing the thesis report and presenting and defending the results. Doctoral students may participate in this activity from the moment they are admitted to the program. The estimated time commitment for students will be 5 hours over 4 years for full-time students and 7 years for part-time students.
