The productivity of young researchers at the UPCT has increased notably this year.

The thesis submission period, extended until December 10, closes with a total of 56 doctoral research defended, 75% more than in the previous year. Confinements and telework seem to have served as a stimulus for doctoral students, who have almost doubled the usual pace of thesis defense at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.

And in the extraordinary period granted this course to present the results of doctoral research, which usually ends at the end of October, up to 21 defenses have been accumulated in just 25 days and with a bridge in between.

In business days, up to seven theses have been presented in the same morning. Most of the defended theses have been exposed in a virtual way to avoid contagion, although they have also been carried out in a classic and blended way.

Telematic means have been especially essential for the seven doctoral students who have obtained international quality mentions, among whose requirements is the participation in the tribunal of at least one researcher from a foreign university. Among the novelties of this course has been the exhibition of three industrial doctoral theses, in which the research is carried out within a company or administration.

This was the case of the thesis of Mar a del Pilar Hidalgo, carried out together with Cementos La Cruz and the Construction Technology Center and in which the Concrelife software, registered as intellectual property, was developed to know corrosion that the concrete structures will suffer. Two other doctoral candidates have also been pioneers.

The Tunisian Mariem Somrani, author of the first co-tutelage thesis that is defended at the UPCT, for which she has had the joint direction of researchers from the Polit cnica de Cartagena and the North African University of Cartago , and Br gida Valvanera Jim nez, who has developed the first thesis in Law defended at the UPCT.
