Past programs

Brains-in, PhD@ISA and International PhD College

Launched in 2006 with the aim to foster internationalization of UniBo PhD programs

A multidisciplinary community of international PhD students

The International PhD College was a community of international PhD students from different study and research areas. PhD students joining the International PhD College integrated the research activity required by their PhD programmes with interdisciplinary and international training and “coworking” activities on crosscutting themes, carried out in small groups.

The successful candidates were hosted in the International PhD College Residence for the entire duration of PhD programme. This benefit was annually renewed on the basis of an assessment by the ISA Academic Board.

The International PhD College program originates from the experience of the Brain-in and PhD@ISA scheme launched in 2006 and reserved to particularly brilliant and motivated international PhD students. In over 14 years these projects  brought to the Institute approximately 50 international PhD students.
