CERIS researchers are presently engaged in PhDcourses leading to nine Doctoral degrees. Students and their supervisors can either select structured, thematic PhD programs or select a combination of PhD-level subjects offered by IST or any other school of UL, or by other universities under protocolled agreements.
The doctoral degrees and the structured PhD programs CERIS, listed above,includes information on coordination and funding, mostly allocated to doctoral grants. Four PhD programs are offered under international protocols and three under national consortia. One PhDprogram is IST-interdepartmental and another is jointly promoted by schools of UL.
