The session included a presentation of the UB’s Doctoral School, and several aspects related to the organization of the studies were explained. Moreover, the session included information about internationalization, language integration programmes, and several basic issues for people with a predoctoral contract. The Vice-Rector for Doctoral Studies, Trainee Research Staff and Talent Attraction, Maria Feliu, told the doctoral students that they can count on the support of the University. “We want you to go further than us, we want you to be better than us”, she concluded.
