CADOS Launches the 2026/27 Training Calendar

The Católica Doctoral School (CADOS) is pleased to present its Training Calendar for the 2026/27 academic year, offering a diverse set of learning opportunities designed to support doctoral researchers throughout their academic journey.

From October 2026 to April 2027, doctoral candidates will have access to training sessions on research communication, human integral development, academic publishing, teaching, open science, information management, innovation, and wellbeing. The programme also includes a Writing Retreat and a dedicated Mental Health series addressing key challenges commonly experienced during doctoral studies.

Developed to complement the work carried out within doctoral programmes, these activities aim to strengthen both academic and transferable skills, empowering researchers to communicate their work effectively, engage responsibly with society, and navigate the demands of doctoral education with confidence.

CADOS creates complementary opportunities, while each doctoral student builds their own path according to their research project, aspirations, and professional goals.

Registration and additional information about each activity are available at cados.ucp.pt.
