Partnerships and international activities
Students will benefit from the opportunity of spending a 1-year period to perform part of their
research activity in a selected foreign laboratory, preferably selected within EU
countries, with recognized experience in the student’s investigation field. The tutor can
designate an external co-tutor (either from Italy or any other EU country) among recognised
scientific authorities in the student’s investigation field. All students are strongly recommended
to spend at least 3 months in a foreign (EU) laboratory to achieve the label of Doctor Europaeus
(The European Doctorate refers basically to a label attachable to the Research Doctorate
degree to be conferred by the University, when the following four conditions have been fulfilled:
a) the doctoral thesis defence will be accorded if at least two professors from two higher education
institutions of two European countries, other than the one where the doctoral thesis will be
defended, have given their judgement concerning the manuscript; b) at least one member of the
jury should come from a higher education institution in European countries, other than the one,
where the doctoral thesis will be defended; c) part of the defence must take place in one of the
official languages, other than the one(s) of the country, where the doctoral thesis will be defended ;
d) the doctoral thesis must partly have been prepared as a result of a period of research of at
least one trimester spent in another European country).
