Presentation
The Doctoral Programme in Design and Technology Applied to Business is designed to promote the training of researchers with profiles capable of joining applied research in the field of design and technologies oriented towards business solutions. To this end, the programme provides students with the means and opportunities to enhance their research training in a context of constant social, technological and business change.
Collaboration between academia and industry is a key pillar of this programme, facilitating the transfer of knowledge, methodologies and tools from academia to business.
To this end, the programme presents a single line of research, called Design and Technology Projects, to which different research objectives are associated with the aim of providing the knowledge, skills and competences required for research activity, but also for setting up innovative business projects. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme opens up opportunities in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, sustainable design and digital innovation, where these competences are highly valued.
Graduates will benefit from the programme's strong connection with industry and other academic institutions, facilitating access to employment opportunities, research collaborations and postdoctoral innovation projects.
