Financial resources
The University annually ensures a dedicated allocation for the functioning of the PhD programme, including the additional 10% provided for by Ministerial Decree (DM) 226/2021 and incorporated into the University Regulations to support research in Italy and abroad, including scientific publications. This budget is provided from the first year also to PhD candidates without scholarships and to those in cotutelle arrangements, ensuring equal access to resources.
During periods spent abroad, all PhD candidates – including those without scholarships – may benefit from a 50% increase of the scholarship for up to a maximum of 12 months (Art. 8.8 of the Regulations). They may also apply to the Sapienza call for international mobility for stays of three months. These instruments concretely support the internationalisation and autonomy of research. PhD candidates are also encouraged to participate annually in University calls to fund Start-up Research and Third Mission projects within calls aimed at promoting the scientific and economic independence of young researchers.
Spaces and workstations
The Department of Antiquities provides spaces and infrastructure for teaching and research, including classrooms for seminar activities.
Two study rooms for the exclusive use of PhD candidates are also available in the buildings of the Faculty of Letters & Philosophy and in the former Vetrerie Sciarra complex, equipped with shared computer workstations and software licenses, as well as specific equipment supporting the scientific activities of PhD candidates provided by the PhD School in Archaeology.
