Common use of Commitment Agreement Clause in Contracts

Commitment Agreement. Once a doctoral candidate has been assigned a thesis supervisor, and before he or she submits a research plan, a commitment agreement will be drawn up. This document will be signed by the director of the Doctoral School, the candidate, the thesis supervisor and the tutor (in case there is someone). It will include a procedure for settling disputes and cover issues related to intellectual/industrial property rights and confidentiality. Any external company or institution involved will also be included in the commitment agreement. If any changes are made to the thesis supervision (or co-supervision) arrangements, the commitment agreement must be updated within 10 teaching days of the day on which the new thesis supervisor is assigned. If for reasons attributable to the doctoral candidate a commitment agreement is not drawn up and signed, the candidate’s admission and enrolment in the doctoral programme will be cancelled, and he or she will not be entitled to a refund of enrolment fees.
