FORMS

1. Valid signatures.

Validity of signatures for procedures at EID

The Act 39/2015, of 1 October, on the Public Authorities Common Administrative Procedure sets out in its article 10.1:

"The interested persons may sign by any means that allows them to prove the authenticity of the expression of their will and consent, as well as the integrity and inalterability of the document."

In application of this article, the following shall be admitted for the purposes of the procedures to be carried out at this School:

1. Valid electronic signature, in accordance with article 10.2 of the Act 39/2015 "recognized or qualified and advanced, based on recognized or qualified electronic certificates of electronic signature issued by providers included in the "List of Trusted Certification Service Providers." For these purposes, the above-mentioned recognized or qualified electronic certificates are understood to include those of legal persons and of entities without legal personality."
2. Original handwritten signature.
3. Exceptionally, when circumstances make it difficult to send the document by the above means, the original handwritten signature, scanned in its entirety after signature and sent from the signatory's institutional email address, will be accepted.
   In the latter case, the original document will remain in the possession of the issuer in case it is required by the processing body at any time during the procedure.

The insertion of images of signatures will not be considered a valid form of signature since it does not allow compliance with the requirements of art. 10 of Act 39/2015, as it does not guarantee the authenticity of the expression of the signatory's will and consent.

2. Written Undertaking of Supervision.

New tool for the management of the Written Undertaking of Supervision

From the 2019-20 academic year, the EID has implemented a change in the management model for doctoral students’ Written Undertaking of Supervision (CDS) that replaces the completion and signature of the form available on this page.

The new system allows the CDS to be accepted without the need for signatures. The doctoral candidate, his/her supervisor and tutor assigned in the admission process only have to access the pre-enrolment platform through a personalized link that will be received by email, through which they will be able to see the CDS relevant to them in PDF format and proceed to ACCEPT or REJECT it, as appropriate.

Once the document is accepted, both supervisors will be included in the student's record. If, for academic reasons, it is necessary to add cosupervisors, this may be requested through the procedure available for this purpose on the website . 

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE ACCREDITATION:

This is an alternative to form B.1.02. Form for the accreditation of research experience in doctoral studies

the FECyT website standardized CVA can be used instead of this form provided it meets the following conditions:

• it is signed (usually electronically when it is downloaded from the FECyT website, but this may not be the case if it is a draft)
• it contains information on the number of six-year periods recognized by the CNEAI or, in the case of accrediting research experience with equivalent scientific contributions, that the evidence of quality specific to the scientific field of each of them is duly detailed (impact index, positioning of the journal, prestige of the publisher in the case of books or book chapters, ...).

Criteria for quality of scientific contributions
