Admission to the second year The assessment consists of two phases: - First phase: Monitoring of the first semester The material required for verification for firts-year candidates consists of: an analytic bibliography compared to that already presented initially with the research project, possibly accompanied by other optional materials. Second phase: end of the second semester The material required for admission to the following year consists of a report on the state of research and the training activities carried out. The report consists of 4 sections - as follows: Section 1: Progress of the research work In this section, the student can first briefly describe their research project, then focusing on the research developments that took place in the academic year just ended and on the different phases of the same, especially for the periods spent abroad. Especially in the case of those who pass from the 1st to the 2nd year, any changes that the project has undergone with respect to the form in which it was presented at the time of admission to the doctorate can be described; this aspect can be explained by arguing the path of the study that has been produced up to that moment also through references - for example - to new studies and new bibliographic sources that are added to those presented in the initial project, comparisons made with other scholars or the outcome of any missions abroad. For greater clarity, this section can be divided into several sub-sections. Section 2: Training activities In this section you can proceed with the listing and brief description of the training activities carried out in the academic year just passed, such as, for example, participation in conventions, conferences, workshops or other, both as speaker and listener; participation in methodological lessons and any curriculum lessons; teaching support activities and more.
