Educational and training activities

Here you can find out about the training activities and events that the various PhD Courses Uniss offer doctoral students and the common activities of the Uniss PhD School.

Participation in the activities entails the achievement of CFRs useful for obtaining the PhD. The CFRs awarded are indicated in each proposed event. To find out how the credit system works, consult the scheme on this page.

Participation in Uniss PhD Course activities is open to PhD students of all Courses: if the topic of the event is interesting, everyone can take part and obtain the relative CFRs. The participation of everyone also to activities not strictly related to their own Course is encouraged by the PhD School in order to foster the meeting between PhD students, the exchange of ideas and interdisciplinarity.

The calendar is updated once a week, while daily updated activities can be found on the Uniss Web Agenda.
