Mobility

All parties involved in the training of doctoral students agree on the benefits of doing stays in other centres that can also allow obtaining the International Mention of the doctoral thesis and the title of Doctor. For this reason, the ULL contemplates and establishes a programme of aid for doing stays in other centres associated with the development of the doctoral thesis and the Doctoral School encourages students to do them. This is an annual call for applications whose regulatory bases can be found at the following web address.

The purpose of the stay varies, but in general the aim is for students to obtain training that complements their studies, learn new techniques related to the topic of their research, establish references and/or join prestigious research groups by collaborating on projects related to the research topic.

The procedure that regulates how to carry out the procedures related to the request for the ULL International Mention can be found here. A minimum stay of three months at a foreign research centre is required, as grants for stays are generally awarded for this duration per year of the thesis. This time is sufficient to achieve the objectives of an international mention for the degree. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible for these grants.

These stays are optional, during the second or third year of the doctoral period, as they depend on the award of the grant, which is competitive. A report must be prepared in which the activity to be carried out is recorded and, upon completion, a report signed by a researcher responsible for the receiving centre must be provided, which in turn is reviewed by a scientific committee at the original centre, guaranteeing control of the activity.

The academic and research relationships that this Doctorate has with foreign institutions are included in the Title description (Participating entities) on this website, which may be considered as possible host centres for doctoral students for these stays.
