Stakeholder Consultations

Computer Science Stakeholder Consultations

Stakeholder Consultation

The Doctoral Program considers it essential to maintain an active and ongoing dialogue with representatives from the professional world, professional associations, PhD alumni, current doctoral students, and faculty members. This engagement takes place both during the design and establishment phases, as well as during the revision of the training program.

The Stakeholder Consultation, conducted through in-person meetings and/or via questionnaires or sector studies, enables the Doctoral Program's Quality Assurance Group (GAQ-PhD) to periodically verify the alignment between training demand and the research and professional profiles being developed. This process allows for the updating of the Doctoral Program's specific educational objectives, taking into account the employability of its doctoral students.
