The Department of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra,
Portugal ( http://www.dei.uc.pt) has created a new
PhD Program in Information Science and Technology, with the duration of
three years, including a first year where the student must complete a set
of
four courses and write a thesis proposal. The initial courses and the
thesis
proposal will grant the student 60 ECTS.
After that, research work will be carried out in one of the nine groups of
the research centre hosted at the department (
http://cisuc.dei.uc.pt) under the supervision of a Department member in
order to write the Doctoral dissertation. The Department is offering 9 PhD
scholarships for the year 2006/2007 for top students that join the

6 hours of weekly teaching assistance at the undergraduate level. The
scholarships are non-renewable but further funding may be available for
outperforming students, either from on-going projects or directly from the
Portuguese government.
