Introduction

The Ph.D. Program in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency, in the University of Zaragoza, is taught since course 2003/2004. The PhD. program was awarded the 'Quality Seal' from the Education Ministery (Ref. MCD2003-00435) since the course 2003/2004 and was renewed uninterruptedly in all published calls. Later on, the PhD. program was distinguished with the "Excellence Mention" by the Education Ministery  (MEE-2011-0262), valid for courses from 2011-2012 to 2013-2014.

The current Ph.D. Program in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency obtained the positive verification from the Universities Council dated September 25, 2013, and its official character and registration in the Register of Universities, University Centers and Degrees were established by means of the Council of Ministers Agreement, published in BOE on February 7, 2017. The program comes from the previous doctoral program in “renewable energy and energy efficiency”, regulated by RD 1393/2007, whose registration was published in the Official Gazette of February 10, 2010, which in turn came from the grouping of previous programs regulated by RD 778/1998 "Renewable energy and energy efficiency" (interdepartmental between the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering) and "Electrical Engineering", both of the University of Zaragoza.

With the creation, at the beginning of 2009, of the Mixed Research Institute, CIRCE, where most of the teachers involved in the PhD. program took part, the new version of the PhD. was assigned to that Research Institute.

Those interested can expand their information in the administrative section of the Doctoral School (web) or the administration of the program (see contact data in the program general information section).


Program Specific Information

Oferta de plazas: 15


Preferred profiles:

The specific training program of the doctorate is the university master's degree in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency.

Nevertheless, other university master's degrees may also be suitable, preferably in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency or any other from the Energy field. Energy engineering is a multidisciplinary field, and students trained in masters of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials engineering, etc. from an educational institution of the European Higher Education Area have room in the doctoral studies. Moreover, those similar candidates coming from third countries will also be accepted whenever the title they hold grants access to doctoral studies in their own country.

The access profile is defined as the level of master studies with engineering knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering (circuit theory, electrical machines, power systems) or thermal engineering (thermodynamics, heat transfer, thermo-technology, thermal engines) or with a sufficient basis allowing their acquisition autonomously.

Students with this profile will have direct access to the doctorate.


Selection criteria:

Candidates to the doctoral studies shall be admitted by the academic committee. 

To obtain such admission, the candidate must request it to the academic committee of the program within the established period in the annual academic calendar.

To apply for admission, the candidate must submit the following documentation:

  • Accreditation of the access qualification (title and detailed academic record).

  • Curriculum vitae.

  • Motivation letter, including specific research interests.

  • Justified request, if applicable, for part-time admission, indicating the type of activity with which the completion of the doctoral thesis will be made compatible.

  • Request to adapt the admission requirements or the curricular trajectory when there are specific needs derived from disability.

Whenever there are more applications than places, the weighting of the admission criteria will be as follows:

  • Adaptation to the doctorate admission profile: 50%

  • Academic record: 30%

  • Personal interview: 20%

In the personal interview, the candidate's motivation will be assessed. Moreover, any needed clarification related to the curriculum vitae and/or the rest of the documentation will be requested.


Specific Training Activities

In addition to the profiles mentioned in the previous section, candidates from a master of architecture and from the field of business administration and law could also be acepted. In all these cases, the admission is made contemplating training complements.

Those profiles must complete their training in the following subjects:

  • Fundamentos de ingeniería eléctrica y energética (4-6 ECTS) 
  • Introducción a las energías renovables (4-6 ECTS) 
  • Introducción a la eficiencia energética (4-6 ECTS) 

The offer of specific subjects for these training complements is not foreseen, but it will be recommended to take subjects of other degrees. Precisely the proposed range (4-6 ECTS) is to adapt to the current offer. For example, the following subjects of the master's degree in renewable energies and energy efficiency:

  • Fundamentos de ingeniería eléctrica y energética (5 ECTS)
  • Sostenibilidad energética (5 ECTS) 

And the introductory course "Renewable Energies" (6 ECTS) currently in the degree of Industrial Technologies would cover such complements.


Enrolment Dates, Deadlines and Procedure

Doctoral students, as researchers in training and students of the University of Zaragoza, have to formalize every year the enrollment with the corresponding rights to the academic tutorship while continuing their doctoral training. The enrollment period will be set  in the academiccalendar approved each year by the Doctoral School. 

As a general rule, enrollment will be done online through the Secretaría Virtual ofthe University of Zaragoza. Previously a personal identification number (NIP) and password will have been obtained in the identity management service. Face-to-face registration will be allowed to those who cannot do it online, by going to the doctoral school during public service hours. PhD students must submit every year in which they enroll, documentation about their previous studies, depending on whether they have been taken in countries of the European Education Area or outside that space.

Full and up-to-date information on the enrollment procedure, including key points, is provided on the website of the Doctoral School, as well as prices, discounts and insurance, legalization and translation of documents and some others practical details.


Thesis Supervision

The procedures for the supervision of doctoral students are set in article 11 of Royal Decree 99/2011, which regulates doctoral studies and the rules about Thesis (Reglamento sobre Tesis Doctorales de la Universidad de Zaragoza). The doctoral student admitted to the program has to enrol each academic year in academic tutelage at the University of Zaragoza. The Academic Committee of the program will assign a Thesis Director and a tutor, who may or may not be the same. The Thesis Director will be the person in charge of the overall management of the doctoral student's research tasks, of the coherence and adequacy of the training activities, of the impact and novelty in his/her field of the subject of the doctoral thesis and of the guide in other projects and activities where the doctoral student is involved. The tutor is responsible for the adaptation of the training and the research activity to the principles of the program and the Doctoral School and will ensure the interaction of the doctoral student with the Academic Committee of the program, the body responsible for supervising the progress of the research and training and the authorization of the thesis presentation of each doctoral student of the program.

The supervisory functions of the doctoral students will be documented in the Doctorate Letter which, once the registration is made, will be signed by the doctoral student, its tutor and its director, the program coordinator and the director of the Doctoral School. Those interested can expand the information on the thesis supervision in the administrative headquarters of the program (see contact information in the general information of the program) or by consulting the program coordinator.


Student's Follow-up and Evaluation

The follow-up of the training process leading to the presentation of the doctoral thesis is carried out through the research plan and the doctoral student's document of activities. The research plan is presented before the end of the first year of enrolment and includes, at least, the methodology to be used and the objectives to be achieved, as well as the means and the temporal planning to achieve it. The plan may be improved and detailed later and must be endorsed by the Director and the tutor. The document of activities is the register of all the activities -research stays, courses, attendance to congresses, or others- that the doctorate carries out from his enrolment until the presentation of the doctoral thesis. Annually, the Academic Committee of the program will evaluate the follow-up of the research plan together with the document of activities. The positive evaluation will be an essential requirement to continue in the program. In the case of a negative evaluation, the doctoral student must be evaluated again within a maximum period of six months. Those interested can expand this information in the administrative headquarters of the program (see contact information in the general information of the program) or by consulting the program coordinator.

Once the thesis is concluded, the doctoral student must proceed to deposit and defend it according to the dispositions included in the thesis regulation of the University of Zaragoza and its procedure (info).


Transversal Training Activities

The Doctoral School offers an annual series of voluntary activities for all doctoral students. This formation has a transversal and interdisciplinary nature. The offer is dynamic and covers the following formative aspects: communication (oral and written), access and information management, and skills for a future social and professional performance.  Information about the activities, admission and enrolment can be found in the website of the Doctoral School  (info).

Additionally, other formative activities of interest for a wide range of our doctoral students are disseminated through our web (info).


Specific Training Activities

The profiles of the students in the doctoral program are very variable. Its multidisciplinary character can include students with a broad income profile in terms of previous specific acquired skills. Moreover, their situation can also be different. Regarding this last, the students can be classified into the next groups:

1.    Students who have just graduated from the master's degree and having financing that allows them to dedicate exclusively to the completion of their doctorate (FPI, PFU or similar scholarships or foreign students who have received scholarships in their country of origin). Fortunately or unfortunately, the reality is that students from engineering have lower average grades compared to other degrees and in this Ph.D. program the students of this profile have always been the minority.

2.    Researchers who do NOT have funds allowing them to dedicate exclusively to the completion of the doctorate. The typical profile is that of a student with a research vocation that has not obtained one of the aforementioned scholarships but has a researcher contract in a research Institute or University Research Center, Technological Center or OPI or, University Teacher. These students must attend their paid work in the first place, but they have the advantage over other part-time students, that their doctoral training is interesting for their work and that part of their research can be developed as part of the objectives to fulfill in his remunerated work. In this case, they will be part-time students, but they probably will have a flexible schedule or a license or similar plan to, for example, carry out mobility activities. These students are also acquiring in their own work some of the competencies needed also in the doctorate program, specifically:

·      CB15 Ability to communicate with the academic and scientific community and with society in general about their fields of knowledge in the modes and languages commonly used in their international scientific community.      

·      CA01 Develop in contexts in which there is little specific information.

·      CA03 Design, create, develop and undertake innovative  projects in their field of knowledge.

·      CA04 Work both as a team and independently in an international or multidisciplinary context.

3.    Engineers of R & D departments of companies and administrations that collaborate with doctoral program researchers This type of students have a late doctoral vocation, and usually take advantage of being involved in a research project at their company/administration of a certain entity. In this case, they are part-time students, with very limited availability for mobility actions, but because of their professional career, they know other work areas and, therefore, mobility is less necessary.

Given that in this doctoral program the most usual profile is type 2, a design case by case of the training plan is proposed. It will be designed by the tutor in agreement with the student and approved by the academic committee. This training plan will be an important part of the research plan, whose preparation and monitoring constitute one of the compulsory activities of the doctorate. In general, this work plan must comply with the following guidelines:

1.    The initial working plan, presented with the first version of the research plan, will establish the training activities for the first three years of the doctorate. For the following years, it will be updated in the case that the student has not yet completed his doctoral thesis.

2.    Activities related to transversal training will be achieved in the first two years.

3.    Mobility will be started by the second year.

Mobility

Doctoral students enrolled in doctoral programs benefit from mobility aids established in various national and international calls. The calls for the Erasmus + program stand out.

In the Erasmus + Studies mode, doctoral students can choose a wide range of destinations, since most of the agreements signed by the University of Zaragoza with other universities include places for PhD students of all branches.

In the Erasmus + Stays / Practices in companies modality, PhD students access two calls: the one from the University of Zaragoza and the one carried out by the Iberus International Campus of Excellence for the universities that comprise it, the one from Zaragoza among them.

Other mobility calls are specifically designed for Latin American students and for international stays of students with predoctoral contracts. The mobility of doctoral students of the University of Zaragoza is also encouraged with cotutela agreements signed with foreign universities.
