The common objectives are the meeting point between the symbiotic relationship represented by the industrial doctorates. 

According to its regulations, the industrial doctorate implies the existence of an employment or commercial contract with the doctoral candidate, which may be signed by a private or public sector company or by a public administration. The doctoral candidate must participate in an industrial research or business development project that is carried out in the company or public administration in which the service is provided, which cannot be a university, and the industrial research or experimental development project in which the doctoral candidate participates must be directly related to the thesis that he or she is carrying out. 
This figure has several common objectives: The Company/Public Administration is able to attract people with knowledge and skills of high added value, and can access the research groups and centres of the Universitat de València (UV) and its equipment and infrastructures.
The UV, for its part, promotes knowledge transfer mechanisms with business and public administration environments, and establishes solid relationships with organisations in the different industrial and administrative sectors.
Finally, doctoral students develop their doctoral thesis within the scope of a project of a company committed to research and innovation, and work with researchers in a scientific environment and with the company's staff during the development of the project.
All these relationships are regulated in the Reglament per a l'obtenció de la menció industrial en els títols de doctor i doctora expedits per la UV.
