Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] Grant applications program

Hi all,

I send you the preliminary information of the grant applications program at UOC. In the Network and Information Technologies there is a research line focused on positioning, but also you can find some lines, in other programs, related with geopositioning and GIS. The call is not still open, but if you are interested, please, do not doubt to contact me.

Best regards,

Toni


Call for grant applications for the Information and Knowledge Society Doctoral Programme; Education and ICT (e-learning) Doctoral Programme, and Network and Information Technologies Doctoral Programme coming soon. Prepare your application in advance.



The deadline for applications for the doctoral programmes is 31 January 2016. The UOC is offering grants for these three doctoral programmes for 2016/2017 academic year.



The UOC is offering grants to study on the Doctoral School’s different programmes, namely, the Information and Knowledge Society Doctoral Programme; the Education and ICT (e-learning) Doctoral Programme, and the Network and Information Technologies Doctoral Programme. To be eligible for the UOC Doctoral Grants Programme students must be full-time and physically present at the University's premises.



The conventional duration of the grants is three years, which can in some cases be extended to a fourth year of postdoctoral work. Grants require annual renewal. Renewal is contingent on the students achieving the training and research objectives established in each case. One of these objectives is to complete the doctoral thesis within a maximum of three years, after which students can apply for a further one-year postdoctoral grant.



The programme will offer the possibility to develop Industrial Doctorates, with grants for the best applicants with agreements with companies. Doctoral students undertaking an industrial doctorate will have a university supervisor and a tutor at the company.



The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (www.uoc.edu<http://www.uoc.edu/>) is a fully accredited online university based in Barcelona and serving over 60,000 students worldwide. The University welcomes doctoral students who want to develop their research in a highly qualified and international setting and on a doctoral programme that forms part of the Bologna process.



Prospective applicants can find information on the application procedure, and on the content and organization of each doctoral programme on the website. We recommend you contact the researcher who is in charge of the thesis proposal you are interested in and ask him for advice (e.g. by sending them a draft of the application letter).
