InformationThe course information is being edited.

 

Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP), in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University and in the context of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program, is launching a new Doctoral Program in Engineering and Public Policy (EPP). This is a new, interdisciplinary, doctoral program focused on technological and policy issues that arise when designing, developing, regulating, implementing and managing networked infrastructures. Although the initial emphasis is on the Energy and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) fields, the broad range of problems to be tackled includes: Policy and Risk-Related Studies; New Technological Paradigms; Security and Privacy Policy; Electricity Infrastructure; Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles; Energy and Environment Policy; Net Neutrality; Spectrum Management Policy; The Internet of Things; Social Networks and Productivity.

 

  • Doctoral Degree offered by Universidade do Porto (Faculdade de Engenharia)
  • Also offered as a dual degree with Carnegie Mellon University (funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia through the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program)

Additional information on the area of EPP, faculty and research opportunities may be found in htpp://www.fe.up.pt/~pdepp.
