  • Outline the project’s area of studies and clearly establish its relevance;
  • Develop a critical analysis of the main findings already published in the literature for the relevant area of research;
  • Define an original contribution in its approach to a problem relevant to the advancement of scientific/technological knowledge in the relevant area of research;
  • Establish a method and a time schedule for solving the problem;
  • Evaluate the main findings to be obtained and expected contributions.

 2) The examination commission will evaluate the candidate’s general knowledge in his or her area of activities.
