Working process

A working group was created to design and implement a pilot program for PhD thesis directors.

After an evaluation of the Workshops on PhD thesis supervision held at the PhD School, the group suggested to create an UCM Code of good practice in PhD, with the aim to improve the quality of the PhD theses and the supervisory processes at UCM. Such code should also be the basis for the future workshops addressed to PhD theses directors.

After four months of analysis, discussions and creative work (November 2018-February 2019), an UCM Code of good practice in PhD was proposed to the UCM PhD Committee.

The Working Group was composed by researchers from the four different scientific domains (click here for details).
