Lucía Güitta
The doctorate at ICAI is allowing me to take my first steps in research through the completion of a doctoral thesis that seeks to provide a practical solution to a problem in the industrial sector, but without losing sight of the social approach that underlies it.

The doctorate is a challenge in which one evolves not only on an academic and professional level, but also on a personal level. It is not a path to be travelled alone, so it is an unparalleled opportunity to learn from great professors and researchers.
