| Research project |
In the research project, the candidate must demonstrate clear abilities to design, organize and develop the scientific research in total autonomy. The excess text beyond the characters specified in the attached template will not be considered by the Evaluation Committee.
2.1. The project, written in Italian or English, may contain up to a maximum of 5 figures and must include the following information:
Title - ###/100 characters (spaces included)

Specific Objective - ###/700 characters (spaces included)
The specific objective consists in the solution of a specific problem and is what the candidate is committed to achieving at the end of the three years. The specific objective, which contributes to the general objective, may have sub-objectives, and it is usually expressed through a noun and not a verb (it is the goal, not the path) and must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound). Expected outcomes during individual phases of the research should not be described in this section (see next points);
State of the art - ###/4000 characters (spaces included)
Describe the state of the art of your chosen research field. At the end of the state-of-the-art, you should be able to clearly identify one or more open questions (to which your project will give an answer by reaching its objectives).
Research activities - ###/4000 characters (spaces included)
Organization of research activities (tasks) over the three years to achieve the specific objective/s. Description of operational details, duration of the single research activity and results expected at the end of each activity.
International mobility - ###/500 characters (spaces included)
International mobility: Details of mobility abroad (for research/training) planned during the three years (minimum 1 month, maximum 18 months). Obviously, some details may change during the project according to your research needs.
Time schedule - ###/500 characters (spaces included)
Brief description of the time schedule of all your planned activities (research, training, dissemination, and mobility). The graphical form (Gantt chart) must be attached in the following section.
Figure 1 (with caption ###/300 characters spaces included)
Figure 2 (with caption ###/300 characters spaces included)
Figure 3 (with caption ###/300 characters spaces included)
Figure 4 (with caption ###/300 characters spaces included)
Figure 5 Time schedule
Graphical form (Gantt chart) of the time schedule of all your planned activities (research, training, dissemination, and mobility).
References - ###/2500 characters (spaces included)
2.2. The following points will be carefully considered by the Evaluation Committee:
a) clarity and completeness of the specific objectives, research strategy, and Gantt chart;
b) relevance of the project to the educational goals of the PhD program;
c) knowledge of the state of the art and definition of the open issues;
d) innovative aspects of the project;
e) feasibility of the project.
Only the candidates with a minimum score of 40/60 (i.e., the sum of scores obtained for CV and professional titles plus research project) will be admitted to the interview.
