The primary objective of the Ph.D. program is to equip Ph.D. students with critical, scientific and methodological skills useful for carrying out highly qualified research activities.

 
The joint planning and management of integrative research training among different courses, promoted by the Doctoral School, ensures a broad and multidisciplinary offering.

With the support of the Doctoral School, UPO offers doctoral students the ENHANCING RESEARCH training track, which addresses the main issues in the world of research, analyzing European (Horizon Europe) and national funding opportunities, enhancement and impact opportunities, and UPO indicators and tools for self-assessment of research quality. Enhancing Research delves into issues related to data management and Open Science principles.
