To promote advanced formation, multi and interdisciplinary in scientific areas related to PhD in Environmental, Marine and Earth Sciences. Development of skills and scientific training at the highest level, including scientific analysis, innovation, critical thinking, decision-making and independent research work

The U.Porto Doctoral Program in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, offered by ICBAS, FCUP, FFUP, CIIMAR, i3S, and REQUIMTE, aims to train experts to address environmental challenges from climate change and population growth. PhD graduates will innovate research, technologies, and solutions to mitigate climate impacts, ensure essential goods, reduce pollution, and promote sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and global health.

The Doctoral Program in Environmental Science and Engineering at the UA aims to produce highly trained professionals who are qualified to carry out autonomous research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering, and thus respond to the recruitment needs of the academic and business sectors and public institutions.

The basic goal of the Doctoral Program in Aquatic Environmental Sciences (PDCMA) is to train highly qualified professionals who are able to enter careers in research and management in public or private institutions or companies related to the aquatic environment or teaching at higher education level.

The Doctoral Program Do*Mar - Marine Science, Technology and Management is a joint international PhD offered by the Universities of Aveiro, Minho, Trás-os-Montes-e-Alto-Douro, Porto, Vigo, Santiago de Compostela and Coruña, with the collaboration of CSIC - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the Instituto Español de Oceanografía, the University of St. Andrews, the Station Biologique de Roscof and the Institute of Oceanography of the University of S. Paulo as host partners.

Provide the knowledge, techniques and systemic vision required to produce scientifically relevant contributions involving the design, analysis, control and operation of systems that support energy, material and information flows, in particular regarding, conversion transport, storage and use of energy, taking into account the availability of natural resources and their relation to climate change, including the study of their mitigation and resilience factors for adaptation to climate change. The main characteristic of this doctoral program is its holistic view, integrating areas of engineering and environment with those of economics and management, providing an analysis of the energy systems in the perspective of sustainable development. It is also an objective of the doctoral program to gradually qualify students for the autonomous development of research and development work by integrating them into research teams with a special emphasis on the preparation and elaboration of the thesis.

The Doctoral Programme is related to the course’s teaching staff’s national and international research projects that have resulted in a considerable number of scientific articles.
