Aim of the PhD Programme

The current Doctoral Programme gathers the subjects and structure of previous Doctoral Programmes (“Photovoltaic Solar Energy”, according to Royal Decrees 1393/2007 and 778/1997), properly adapted to comply with the requirements of current regulations governing doctoral studies (Royal Decree 99/2011). Main focus is to provide with a unified and multidisciplinary vision of the key technologies and knowledge of PV Solar Energy, as well as their fields of application. More specifically, it aims to:

  • give the students a general view of the state of the art of new technologies related to PV Solar Energy;
  • provide a specific and methodological basis to enable the students the development of research, development and engineering in the framework of PV Solar Energy;
  • encourage communication within Research Groups participating in the programme and promote research stays in other European and/or international research partners groups on R&D projects
