Cursos i Seminaris

El Programa de Doctorat organitza anualment Conferències i Cursos sobre diferents temes relacionats amb les seves àrees d'investigació. El nombre de seminaris i cursos impartits està subjecte a les subvencions aconseguides cada any.

 

Aquests cursos estan oberts a tots els estudiants i al personal del Programa de Doctorat. Els estudiants que estan en el Període de Recerca han de justificar la realització d'activitats formatives, i poden justificar l'asssistència a aquests cursos. El procés d'inscripció per a cada curs serà indicat en la secció de notícies i esdeveniments d'aquesta web quan es trobi proper a la data del curs.
