INTRODUÇÃO
Following the institutional agreement celebrated in July 2019, between ISEC Lisbon, its TGRAF Research center and the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon, which runs the FA-UL project doctorate program with its CIAUD Research Group. As a result of this agreement, the Research Advice program was created, to which the ELISAVA Faculty of Design and Engineering of Barcelona was added.
RESEARCH ADVICE is defined as a personalized support program for doctoral students, in the development of their Doctorate in Design. This program is coordinated by the Research Center TGRAF ISEC Lisbon with FA-ULisboa and ELISAVA. The program is developed in parallel to the development of the doctorate program in design at FA-ULisboa, as an active complement for the doctoral candidate to safely advance their research project.

(*) Informative note:
The Doctorate provides a degree of level 4 MECES (ES) qualification, which is equivalent to level 8 EQF (EHEA).
The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) groups university degrees into three cycles. These degrees follow the ECTS credit system (European Credit Transfer System) that guarantees the convergence of the different European higher education systems. The incorporation of Spain into the EHEA led to the establishment of the Spanish Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (MECES) with the aim of classifying, relating and comparing the different higher education qualifications in the European context. The MECES is structured into four levels. The MECES also has its equivalent in the European Qualification Framework (EQF), the common reference framework that links the qualification systems of the different European countries and serves as a conversion mechanism.
