The general theme of the doctoral programme relates to the extensive field of application of chemistry to industrial processes. It aims to train students in understanding theoretical and practical problems, as well as economic, environmental and safety issues. Graduates will possess considerable scientific expertise and be able to organise and manage research activities, as well as analyse the aspects pertaining to variations in scale. The main research areas are: physical chemistry and catalysis in industrial processes; industrial electrochemistry and corrosion; synthesis, properties and structure of polymers; synthesis and processes of fine chemistry; synthesis, processes and control in primary chemistry; chemical biotechnology; innovative chemical processes; new structural and functional materials; innovative energy technologies; nanotechnologies.
An important aspect of the programme is that students meet foreign researchers and come into contact with internationally renowned research institutes. To this end, some teaching activities are assigned to foreign lecturers and students are given the opportunity to spend time in research institutions abroad.
