This booklet gives detailed information about the European PhD Program in Computational Logic.
The European PhD Program in Computational Logic (EPCL) is jointly offered by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB), the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL) and the Technische Universität Wien (TUW).
Based on common curriculum and common study and examination regulations, the program is offered jointly by the mentioned European partner universities. In order to meet local laws and regulations, the European partner universities are running local PhD program's in Computational Logic. These programs are tied together by an Agreement of Cooperation. The European PhD Program in Computational Logic is steered by a Joint Commission.
Additional associated third-country research institutions and industrial partners contribute to the program by offering PhD candidates the possibility to do a part of the PhD work at their place.
This handbook gives information about the partner institutions, including contact persons and means to contact them. It documents the agreement of cooperation between the partner universities, the common study and examination regulations and the decisions of the Joint Commission. In addition, it contains a compilation of information about the services provided at the partner universities.
