Doctoral students have the opportunity to carry out periods of training and research at foreign universities or research institutes for a maximum of 18 months.
During periods of study abroad, provided they are longer than 30 consecutive days, the amount of their grant is increased by 50%.
At least one month before departure, all doctoral students (both recipients and non-recipients of grants) must send the application form to study abroad, countersigned by their Coordinator, to [email protected], attaching a photocopy of their ID document.
In order to receive the increased grant, students must send the attendance certificate, signed by their foreign tutor, to the Payment Office - [email protected]. by the 30th of each month.
Jointly supervised theses
The joint supervision of theses makes it possible to obtain a joint Research Doctorate qualification, recognised in the two countries which have made the joint supervision agreement.
To apply for joint supervision it is necessary to have the favourable opinion of the teaching staff of the Doctorate Course and the agreement signed by the two Rectors, the Thesis directors and the Coordinators of the Courses.
The doctoral student will alternate their research activity in the two institutions under the supervision of the Thesis directors.
Joint thesis supervision agreements are normally part of framework agreements between countries (the Conference of Italian University Rectors currently has agreements for the joint supervision of theses with France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland) but it is also possible to begin thesis partnerships with other countries.
