INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION

Social work, sociology, political science in Deusto. Economy, psicology in the Gipuzkoan Council.
It will be decided together with the candidate according to his/her specific research situation, thesis proposal and the interdisciplinary aspects of the research project.
The profesionals of each area are working from a different point of view. In the Gipuzkoan Council they are mostly proffesionals from economical and psicological areas. Meanwhile in Deusto we are mostly from social work and political science areas. This will be important to work on interdisciplinarity from the beginning.

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

The project will contribute to the SDG 3: Good health and wellbeing through ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being at all ages.
It will be decided together with the candidate according to his/her specific research situation, thesis proposal and the interdisciplinary aspects of the research project.

INTERSECTORAL COLLABORATION

Gipuzkoan Provincial Council, Adinberri Fundazioa
Industrial doctorate is not envisaged since the programme requires the researcher to be hired by the University of Deusto. However, the industrial partner will be involved in the research and training of the PhD student since the beginning.

IMPACT

It’s going to be important as we are working with the public institution in charge of the policies and the main stakeholders of the territory. Working together and experiment from the beginning it’s the way of generating big impact.

INNOVATION

Public-private collaboration, co-creation

INCLUSION

Deusto is committed to social justice and inclusion. It recognises gender equality as a key driver for sustainable development, inclusive growth and academic opportunity for women. Moreover, to seek real inclusion for people with specific support needs, the project will ensure equal rights and opportunities with respect to access to the programme and the acquisition of skills expected to achieve the PhD.
