The Doctoral Program in Sustainable Energy Systems of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (http://mit. fc. ul. pt) was developed in the context of the MIT-Portugal Program, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Oporto University (FEUP), the Technical University of Lisbon (ISEG and IST) and the University of Coimbra. The first year of the doctoral program conjugates formal postgraduate teaching with development of individual research projects. Some of the courses of the 4th and 5th years of the Master Degree

program serve as optional disciplines for the Doctoral Program in Sustainable Energy Systems of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.

The actual PhD projects are integrated within national and international research projects that are conducted by certified research centres, in particular the SESUL and the CGUL.
