PhD Training Activities

Research stays in other laboratories

The Programme in Pharmacology and Physiology openly supports internationalization and research stays by PhD candidates in other centers, preferentially abroad.

The duration of the stays will ideally be of at least 3 months, since this opens the possibility of applying for an International Label to the PhD title. Importantly, 11 out of 37 (around 30%) of the doctoral theses defended in the Programme from 2014-2015 to  2019-2020 were awarded with such International Label.

The thesis Supervisor and the Tutor will help the doctoral candidates in identifying research groups relevant to the thesis topic. For full-time candidates, the stays are not foreseen earlier than 18 months after starting their thesis. For part-time candidates, the stay is expected after 2 years of thesis development and they can perform a series of shorter stays to complete the 3 month period. This will be particularly recommended for candidates who develop a Programme of Health Specialities (MIR residents) and cannot leave easily the hospital.


Activity accreditation

A report will include information on the starting and ending date, the financial source, the receptor centre and the scientists in charge, as well as a brief memory of the activities developed during the stay. This report, signed by both the Supervisor and the Tutor, must be attached to the Training Activities Document (Documento de Actividades del Doctorando) to be uploaded in SIGMA.
