In the realm of doctoral supervision and support, the PPST is presently executing the following initiatives:

  • Interdisciplinary doctoral training centered on ecological transition issues and interdisciplinary doctoral seminars.
  • Co-directorships involving supervisors from diverse disciplines, aimed at extending the interdisciplinary approaches fostered during the Master’s programs.
  • Co-supervision, whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary, designed to promote the cultivation of international collaborations.
