The first-year doctoral students are the doctoral students of cycle 38. There are 14 students, all financially supported either by doctoral scholarships or by other forms of continuous support comparable to doctoral scholarships. The activities of the doctoral students have been:
1. Training through scientific research, coordinated by their respective supervisors.
2. Study visits, research, and training:
2.1 Universities and research centers.
2.2 International doctoral courses
2.3 International conferences
Some of these activities (fortunately few, compared to students in previous years) were held virtually due to the global pandemic situation, but they proved to be equally fruitful as evident from the individual profiles of the students. It is also important to note that the seminar activity has been particularly rich, with talks given by prominent scientists including:
- Avi Wigderson: winner of the Abel (2021), Knuth (2019), Goedel (2009), and Nevanlinna (1994) prizes, among the world's most prestigious awards for researchers in computer science and applied mathematics.
- Radia Perlman: named twice among the 20 most influential people in the industry by the scientific journal Data Communications, and a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame since 2016.
The second-year PhD students are the students of the 37th cycle. There are 17 students, all financially supported either by doctoral scholarships or other forms of continuous support comparable in amount to the doctoral scholarship. The activities of the PhD students have been:
