For PhD students in the 3rd year (35th cycle): Presentation and discussion with the Tutor and the Board of Lecturers of the research progress of the dissertation (19.02.2022)

Also for 2022, the aftermath of the persistent problems arising from Covid has led to some changes in the organisation and scheduling of doctoral activities that have not affected the proper delivery of the overall training offer.

The 1st and 2nd year doctoral students submitted, as usual, in October 2022, a form with the activities carried out in the A.Y. 2021-2022 on the basis of which the Board of teachers decided at its meeting of 21 October 2022 on admission to the next cycle for each of them. All the doctoral students were admitted to the following years.

The pandemic, however, significantly altered the doctoral deadlines.
All the 34th-cycle doctoral students took advantage of the extension under Decree-Law n. 4/2022 and still debated within the year, brilliantly passing the final examination.
