The Industrial Doctorates Plan

The Industrial Doctorates Plan is an initiative of the Government of Catalonia, based on established international references – France (CIFRE) and Denmark (Industrial PhD Programme) – and is aimed at contributing to the competitiveness and internationalization of the Catalan industrial fabric, attracting and retaining talent and placing doctoral students in a position to conduct research and innovation projects in a company. Its essential element is a strategic research project for a company that will be conducted in cooperation with a university and that will lead to a doctoral thesis.

“R&I Meeting Days” cycle

This activity is part of the UOC "R&I Meeting Days" cycle, with which the University schedules an activity of interest led by experts and aimed at anyone interested in different aspects of research and innovation. Previously, these activities were part of the "Thursdays with the Research and Knowledge Transfer Support Office (OSRT)" cycle.
