The Doctoral Program aims to train researchers and teachers to give a full answer to the current energy needs for sustainable development. This is definitely one of the key fields between the current technological challenges today, both for its impact on individulas and the collective well-being, for their influence on economic competitiveness, as well as for the impact on the environment and specifically global warming due to the enhanced greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. To contribute to this challenge innovative and advanced technological developments in energy technologies with low carbon emissions are necessary, including renewable energy, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion technologies, so that they all tend to play an ever more prominent role. In order to develop and acquire this knowledge a significant part is dealing with the accurate fundamentals of radiation physics and its interaction with matter, which allow to address key areas to society, such as medicine, industry, space and other.

The Doctoral Program brings together a group of faculty researchers from the Departments of Energy and Engineering Fluid Mechanics, and Nuclear Engineering, the Institute of Nuclear Fusion, and five research groups offcially recognized by the Technical University of Madrid :
