Presentation

ProDEI is the Doctoral Program in Informatics Engineering of FEUP (Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto). It is adequated to new rules, coming out from the "Bologna Declaration", leading to better compatibility and comparability of the European University degrees, as well as EU students mobility.

The main goal of ProDEI is to promote excellence through research and development, for students, in Informatics Engineering topics. All the ACM-IEEE Computing Curricula main areas (Computer Science, Computing Engineering, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Information Technology) can be accommodate in this Doctoral Program. Emphasis is given to theoretical fundamentals but also including the specification, project, modelling, representation, distribution and exploration of  computing systems, as well as information acquisition, representation and processing, with special attention paid to the integration of those  technologies in the organizational environments.
