Doctoral Sessions

Doctoral studies are a fundamental pillar in a knowledge-based society, and researchers in training are fundamental actors in the progress of scientific knowledge. The Doctoral School of the University of Lleida organizes this Session to promote scientific, technological, social, artistic and cultural advancement of our society.

The main objectives are, on the one hand, to increase the transversal competences in research, innovation and dissemination of the researchers in training of all the Doctorate Programs of the UdL; on the other hand, promote the influence and mutual knowledge between the academic and scientific community of the UdL. And finally, develop a training activity that allows the PhD students their progress in research.
