• To foster original, innovative and high quality academic research in the above-mentioned areas.
• To encourage collaboration with scholars from other research centers at national and international level.
• To create PhD graduates with advanced skills that make them eligible for positions such as postdoctoral researcher, university professor, researcher at institutes or companies, and other positions that require creativity, leadership and problem-solving abilities in the field of Engineering Management.
