Each academic year, CÍCLIKS organises courses aimed at doctoral students in order to promote research, professional development and ongoing training. As a general rule, the courses will be given in English.

Given that course registration is free and places are limited, a strict cancellation and attendance policy will be applied in order to take full advantage of the resources allocated.
