Engagement and supervision agreement
At the time of formalising the first registration for academic supervision in the programme, the PhD student, the EIDUS management, the supervisor of the PhD thesis and the tutor must sign an Agreement of engagement and supervision which will include the procedure for conflict resolution and will solve issues relating to intellectual and industrial property rights that may arise in the context of the PhD programme and in relation to the PhD thesis.

Research Plan
During the first year on the programme, the PhD student will draw up a research plan, endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor of the PhD thesis, which will include, at least, the title of the PhD thesis, the methodology to be used in the research and the goals to be achieved, as well as the means and the timetable for achieving them.

Annual assessment
The programme’s academic committee will jointly assess the research plan and the PhD student’s activity document on an annual basis, together with the reports to be issued for this purpose by the tutor and the supervisor of the PhD thesis. To this end, the EIDUS Steering Committee will set the call dates for each academic year.
