The International PhD College (I-PHD) is a 3rd cycle academic and research track, organised by the Collegio Superiore complementary to the University's PhD programmes, which welcomes Italian and international PhD students. The doctoral students who join the I-PHD College complement the research activities envisaged by their PhD tracks with interdisciplinary and international academic and 'coworking' activities on transversal topics.
Upon completion of the activities carried out during the three-year PhD programmes (for PhD programmes lasting four years, the track is in any case completed at the end of the third year), the students of the I-PHD College must present at least one product or activity of science and knowledge dissemination, aimed at bringing a contribution to civil society.
Each student of the I-PHD College will be supported by a University professor, acting as a Tutor, coming from a different disciplinary area from their own, who will support them in their research activities and in the identification and realisation of initiatives or products for a return to the community and civil society. PhD students will also actively participate in meetings, initiatives and projects organised by the Collegio Superiore and the other Institute for Higher Studies.
