Although the EBD does not have a doctoral school nor has the capacity to teach university degrees, CSIC researchers regularly supervise PhD students, both internal and external, tutored by universities.
Each year, about 10 predoctoral researchers defend their theses developed at the Doñana Biological Station. There are state level grants (FPU and FPI) for the development of doctoral theses as well as grants associated with research projects.
