Objectives
The defined objectives are part of the mission of the two schools, which is to train internationally recognised engineering professionals, supported by excellent research and development, with a regional focus, but of globally recognised quality, and by the practice of disseminating recognised quality, encompassing scientific, technical, ethical and cultural aspects. Doctoral programmes in general, and the Doctorate in Spatial Planning in particular, are fundamental tools for the Schools in the pursuit of this mission, as they underpin the scientific research and technological innovation projects in which they are involved.
The objectives set are not only fully in line with the educational, scientific and cultural projects of the schools involved, but can only be achieved through the implementation of doctoral programmes. Without them, it would not be possible to develop the scientific research and technological transfer activities that these projects, which are of great importance, provide for.
