Introduction
The Doctoral Program in Chemical and Environmental Engineering was the first of those offered by the USC in the area of technical teachings, it obtained the Quality Mention from the first call of the Ministry in the 2003/04 academic year, maintaining it uninterruptedly throughout all the courses in which it was in force, also obtaining the new label of Mention of Excellence since the 2011/12 academic year, the year in which this new measure of quality of doctoral programs was implemented.
The new program, which maintains its current name, starts from the following premises:
- Maintain the educational trajectory developed since the first doctor by the USC in our area in 1958.
- Promote training in advanced areas on the frontier of knowledge of Chemical, Environmental and Biotechnological Engineering of current and future chemical engineers within the new structure of Bologna.
- Training of new research staff, thinking about their future incorporation into the R&D areas of companies, key for the launch of research in our country, also promoting the development of a sustainable research structure.
- Recruitment of foreign postgraduates, both European and from other regions of the world. It is especially intended to maintain and increase the number of Ibero-American students who traditionally did theses in our previous doctoral programs.
The specific objectives of the program are as follows:
- Incorporate graduates into the university world, particularly in the research lines of the Department, promoting their involvement not only in research itself, but also in project management.
- Train doctors whose incorporation into the industrial sector favors the creation and implementation of R&D teams.
- Promote the exchange of knowledge with research groups from other R&D centers through the mobility of our students and teachers.
- Increase scientific and technological knowledge in the areas of Chemical, Environmental and Bioprocess Engineering, promoting its dissemination in scientific publications with a high impact index.
