CRiEDO is seeking an organization interested in promoting an Industrial PhD within the framework of the 2026 call for proposals.
Industrial PhDs aim to foster collaboration between academia and the economic and social sectors through the development of an industrial research or experimental development project that incorporates a doctoral thesis. This scheme provides organizations with the opportunity to address real challenges and needs through research, generating applied knowledge while promoting innovation and knowledge transfer.
Within this framework, CRiEDO is looking for a company, organization, or public administration interested in proposing a challenge, need, or area of interest that can be addressed through a doctoral research project.
This collaboration would make it possible to jointly define a research project linked to the organization’s needs and objectives. The project would be developed as part of a doctoral thesis and would combine academic research with practical application.
The project could be framed within different areas of CRiEDO’s expertise, including educational leadership and management, organizational development and improvement, educational innovation and transformation, educational management, educational policies, and the development of education systems, among others.
This initiative represents an opportunity for organizations to generate useful knowledge, address strategic challenges, and incorporate research talent, while establishing a partnership with a specialized university research team.
Organizations interested in learning more about this opportunity or exploring a potential collaboration are invited to contact CRiEDO at edo@uab.cat.
