Notice that the call for admission and its annexes indicate the research topics for which candidates can apply for a scholarship, the criteria for candidates’ eligibility and the evaluation of their Curriculum Vitae, and the interview methods. Furthermore, the call for admission and its annexes indicate the Host Institution where students will primarily carry out their study and research activity. In the case of industrial research grants or scholarships co-financed by a company, the corresponding research topic reports the company’s name, where students will partially carry out research.
The DRIM Ph.D. program allows each candidate to apply for at most two curricula. For each curriculum, candidates can select a maximum of three research topics.
The board will evaluate the applicants’ Curriculum Vitae, including their student career and qualified scientific and technical skills, a letter of motivation of the candidate, and the provided endorsement letters. Candidates are invited to an interview only if their evaluation score exceeds a minimum threshold. The interview consists of a discussion about the Curriculum Vitae and the research activity of interest to the candidate.
Candidates are ranked separately for each research theme to which they applied. Then, for each research topic, the research grants are assigned according to the ranking.
Information on the winners and how to register will be communicated at the end of the procedure.
How long does the Ph.D. course last?
The doctorate has a minimum duration of 36 months and a maximum duration of 54 months, according to the study plan presented by the students
How much is the scholarship?
The scholarship amounts to € 16,500.00 per year. Ph.D. students will have a personal funding of € 3,300 per year for travel and research activities.
