10 years of<br />
doctoral research<br />
ANA MARIA FERNANDEZ- MALDONADO<br />
During the period 2011-2019,<br />
fifteen PhD researchers have<br />
defended their dissert<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
within the <strong>Sp<strong>at</strong>ial</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> and<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy Section, and there are twelve ongoing<br />
PhD projects. PhD research has visibly<br />
changed since <strong>2008</strong>. The Faculty stopped<br />
hiring PhD candid<strong>at</strong>es as temporary staff, and<br />
PhD research began to be funded <strong>by</strong> external<br />
bodies, generally from the candid<strong>at</strong>es’ countries<br />
of origin. PhD research has become better<br />
organised and PhD selection has become<br />
stricter. Candid<strong>at</strong>es have to be accepted <strong>by</strong><br />
the Daily Board, and they are all assigned a<br />
daily supervisor. They have to follow courses<br />
in the Gradu<strong>at</strong>e School and strict Go-No Go<br />
events are held after the first year.
