Internships at other research centers (mobility)
- Number of hours: 360 hours
- Description: A stay of at least three months, to be completed in one or two visits, at another national or foreign centre of recognised prestige. The selection of the destination centre and the most suitable period of stay must be agreed with the thesis supervisor.
- Time planning: Full-time students: during the second or third year. Part-time students: during the third or fourth year.

- Learning outcomes: Be able to integrate into a foreign research group and collaborate on its lines of research. Resolve specific questions raised in your research. Learn new techniques and be able to apply them to the development of your doctoral thesis. Initiate contacts for future collaborations.
- Language: Spanish/English
- Character: Optional, depending on the availability of resources for this action.
- Control procedure: Pre-stay report, including: 1. Justification of the opportunity of the stay in the context of the thesis work, 2. Experience of the host group in the subject, 3. Presentation of the specific issues to be resolved, 4. Work plan, 5. Source of funding for the stay. Once the stay has been completed: 1. Report from the person in charge of the host group in which the stay was carried out on the use made of it, 2. Personal reasoned report on the objectives achieved and not achieved with respect to the proposed plan, 3. Presentation of the progress that the stay has meant for the thesis in a seminar of the research group. The report must be included in the personalized record of activities.
- Mobility: Voluntary activity subject to budget availability. The funding provided for this activity comes from the university's own mobility funds, from specific allocations for agreements and projects, and from external calls for proposals at local, national and international levels (see section 7.2: Forecast of external resources and travel grants for conferences and stays at other centres). It is estimated that 25-50% of full-time students and 15-35% of part-time students will be able to benefit from this activity. Without prejudice to the establishment of new collaborations based on objectives, section 1.4 mentions some groups with which there are currently collaborations and centres with which there are agreements (annexes) that include mobility for doctoral students (see also sections 5.2.4: Organisation of the Programme. Forecast of stays for doctoral students at other centres). The Internal Quality Assurance System will be responsible for the procedures for the correct development of mobility (see section 8.1.3).
