The Doctoral Programme in Refining, Petrochemical and Chemical Engineering (EngIQ) involves an unprecedented partnership in Portugal integrating five Portuguese Universities (University of Aveiro, University of Coimbra - Faculty of Science and Technology , New University of Lisbon - Faculty of Science and Technology , University of Porto - Faculty of Engineering and University of Lisbon - Instituto Superior Técnico), in close collaboration with the AIPQR (Association of Petrochemical, Chemical and Refining Industries ) and APQuímica (Associação Portuguesa da Química, Petroquimica e Refinação), since 2018
The doctoral program comprises a doctoral course (in the first year), with compulsory and elective course units, followed by a research work leading to the preparation of the doctoral thesis, developed in a business environment, and focusing on themes proposed by the companies associated with the program.
This doctoral programme aims at:
• Train, at a PhD level, highly qualified professionals, promoting the excellence of knowledge and its transfer to the human resources of the companies, not only those directly involved but also the ones that hire the PhDs, thus reinforcing their capabilities.
