Jornades Doctorials

These are workshop sessions for future doctors, that were organized yearly by catalan universities, with the collaboration of the Generalitat de Catalunya. These workshops aimed to provide future doctors with knowlegde of the state of research and innovation in Catalonia, Europe and elsewhere, to identify future trends, and thus be a tool for integration of future doctors into the labour market or into the research career. In July 2013 they were discontinued.
