Overview

Key Features

Several of these research lines are being pursued at the University's two research centres: Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) and the eLearn Center (eLC).

The IMT Department, with the support of the two research centres linked to the University, is focusing its attention on scientific development in the area of network and information technology through a higher-education offering (including undergraduate, masters and doctorate degrees) that corresponds to the aforementioned working lines and in response to current demand.

Several research groups in the IMT Department offer research projects funded by competitive calls for proposals at the national and international level, have earned recognition from quality agencies within the university system, include accredited teaching faculty and have an extensive list of publications in prestigious scientific journals and conferences that validate their research trajectory.

Over thirty of the lecturers in the Network and Information Technologies programme from Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) hold doctorates and are qualified to direct doctoral theses within the Network Information Technologies Doctoral Programme. Moreover, the two aforementioned research centres provide grant programmes (UOC grants) for visiting lecturers, resident lecturers, post-doctoral researchers and invited lecturers, among others, that promote collaboration with groups and researchers from other universities and contribute added value to the doctoral programme.

Fees and funding

Funding

UOC is awarding 12 predoctoral grants for doctoral Theses in the framework of the doctoral programmes. UOC's grant will consist of hiring trainee predoctoral researchers, specifically under predoctoral researcher training contracts. Predoctoral grant holders will have all those employment and other rights relating to social security deriving from the contract signed with the UOC. The potential beneficiaries of a UOC predoctoral grant for doctoral programmes include individuals who, at the time of applying, fulfill the access requirements for the organized research period on a doctoral programme at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. The specific requirements can be consulted on the UOC website.
