Access to doctoral programs is granted through the evaluation of qualifications and an interview. Participation in the call is free of charge.
The application must be submitted through the PICA platform, using a fully online procedure.
The online application process must be completed by 12:00 PM on July 27, 2023.
Those who wish to participate in the competition for multiple doctoral courses must submit multiple applications, attaching the required documentation for each.
Attention: for those indicating their interest in participating in the allocation of a research scholarship with a specific theme, the allocation of such a scholarship takes priority over the allocation of any available unrestricted scholarships.
]]>This page contains the main forms available for PhD students enrolled in research doctorate programmes. By selecting the items of interest, it is possible to download the forms.
It is important to remember that, in order for the various procedures to be completed, it is necessary to follow the specific provisions for each procedure; in order to fulfil this, users are invited to visit the relevant pages of the website.
For any further information you may require, or if you cannot find the form in English, please contact the IUSS Office (by sending an e-mail to: dottorato@unife.it)
Since printing on A4 size sheets (21 x 29.7 cm) is mandatory, we suggest you to layout the text by setting the following dimensions (using the "Word" program for Windows you can access the setting of the margins through the window: File / Set page.). Please note, these are general indications and not mandatory parameters:
The body of the text of the paragraphs could respect the following formats:
The first page has to be the same of the cover of the thesis (see online model), and must contain the following information:
It is intended for deposit in the University Archives and is the only one to which the University will refer to issue, upon your request, the declaration of conformity of any copies for administrative use. Furthermore, this paper copy is intended for perennial storage in the archive for historical purposes. You will also have to prepare a thesis file intended for the University Archives which will be published in the institutional open access archive after the achievement of the PhD title or at the expiry of the embargo period (the same file will be transmitted by Unife to the legal deposit at the Central National Libraries of Rome and Florence). Abstract
Statement of the thesis work carried out, both in Italian and in English: it must be written in 2 separate files from the thesis (one for each language). Abstracts should not be reported on the hard copy.
It must be completed in all its parts, bound with the paper copy of the thesis and signed according to the instructions contained therein. It is also necessary to scan it to be included in the IT platform.
This document must also be completed in every part, bound with the paper copy of the thesis and signed according to the instructions contained therein and must be presented only if strictly necessary, for example for any prior agreements with publishers or for presence in the thesis of patent data to be protected; in essence, you can request the application of some limitations to the access of your thesis with the postponement of its online consultation for a period from 6 to 36 months, specifying the Embargo Reason in the declaration (provided for in the cases of:
1. Thesis in course of publication, 2. Thesis subject to agreement with third parties, 3. Public safety reasons, 4. Privacy, 5. Protection of intellectual property).
The electronic versions of the thesis will be deposited by the University at the Central National Libraries where it will be available on PCs without peripherals; at the institutional archive of the University with open access (http://www.unife.it/ricerca/banche-dati/iris), which will guarantee its conservation and public consultation, and will also be available in paper format at the University Archive. The embargoed thesis will be made available at the end of the embargo period.
You have to pay close attention to all aspects concerning copyright; we invite you to carefully read the document prepared in 2007 by the Open Access group of the CRUI Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities. By depositing the thesis in the open access institutional archive of the University, as the author you keep all copyright, moral and economic rights on it, in accordance with current legislation (Law 633/1941 and subsequent amendments and additions). Furthermore, the publication of your thesis in the open access institutional archive becomes a guarantee for you as it certifies the date and intellectual property of your work, and also allows you to circulate your name and the results of your work in the scientific world.

During the three years of the Doctorate it is possible to spend periods of study or research at foreign universities, organizations or institutes, if deemed useful for the development of one's research topic.
Study stays abroad must be authorized in advance by the PhD Coordinator or the student's Tutor; if, on the other hand, the continuous stay is longer than six months, the Board of Teachers must also officially pronounce it.
Scholarship holders can also take advantage of an increase in the scholarship for the days spent abroad.
To download the forms and learn in detail how to conduct stays in other countries (asking the 50% of the scholarship amount), visit the page dedicated to research abroad.
