In the first interview the candidate will be questioned on his/her scientific interests (past and future); in the second interview the candidate will be questioned on background topics centered around his/her scientific interests.



If the candidate is also applying for a fellowship supported by a specific project, then some questions may focus on topics related to the project itself.
