Enrolment in the doctoral programme grants students the right to academic supervision and access to the resources necessary for them to develop their work. For co-supervised doctoral theses, the corresponding agreement will determine the enrolment process to be followed.

Complying with to the regulations of each university, the thesis supervisor will be a professor or researcher with a doctorate and accredited research experience from one of the seven universities participating in the programme. Doctors from other universities and research institutes may act as co-supervisors.
