Seminars 2013 – 2014

Luís Paulo Santos (psantos <at> di <dot> uminho <dot> pt)

Summary

This unit has as its main goals introducing the students to a set of concepts which are complementary to their scientific and technological education, but nevertheless fundamental to both completing their PhDs successfully and entailing a career on scientific research. 

These concepts include preparation and writing of a PhD thesis and scientific papers, research management and methodologies, bibliometrics, science and technology management and funding, among others.

Besides seminars covering the above cited issues visits to all research centers related to the doctoral programme (MAP Research Centers) will also be organized.

Teaching Methodology

Seminars will take place all Wednesdays mornings at room DI-A2, Departamento de Informática building, in Campus de Gualtar, Braga. Students are strongly encouraged to actively participate in these sessions, by questioning and commenting with both the speaker(s) and colleagues.

Visits to the MAP Research Centers are announced below.

Assessment

It is mandatory to attend all sessions of this course. Students can at most miss two of these sessions, justifying the reason why they miss them by sending email to the course responsible (see header). A penalization of 2 points (out of 20) will be incurred by each missed session without justification.

It is mandatory to participate in all visits to all MAP Research Centers. Each missed visited, without a justification supported by some official document, will result on a penalization of 3 points (out of 20).
