5. Once enrolled in the programme, a personalised activities document shall be created for each doctoral student for the purposes of the individualised monitoring record referred to in Article 2.5 of RD 99/2011. This document shall record all activities relevant to the doctoral student’s development, as regulated by the university, the school, or the Academic Committee itself, and shall be regularly reviewed by the tutor and thesis supervisor and evaluated by the Academic Committee responsible for the doctoral programme as referred to in Article 8.3 of RD 99/2011.

Before the end of the first year, counted from the date of enrolment, the doctoral candidate, with the assistance of their supervisor and tutor, shall prepare a document including a research plan and a personal training plan. The research plan shall include at least the methodology to be used, the objectives to be achieved, and the means and timetable required to attain them. The personal training plan of the doctoral candidate shall outline the various training activities to be undertaken during the doctoral programme (courses, seminar presentations, mobility actions, etc.). This document may be refined and elaborated upon during the candidate’s time in the programme and must be endorsed by the supervisor and the tutor. In the case of doctoral candidates with the Industrial Mention, the provisions of Article 15 bis shall also apply.
7. Annually, the programme’s Academic Committee shall evaluate the doctoral candidate’s progress with regard to the research plan and activities document, together with the reports that the supervisor and tutor must issue for this purpose. If the Academic Committee identifies significant shortcomings, the doctoral candidate shall be re-evaluated within a maximum period of six months. Should these shortcomings persist, the Academic Committee shall issue a reasoned report, after hearing the candidate concerned, and the doctoral candidate shall be definitively withdrawn from the programme.
