PROTECTION OF RIGHTS IN EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

As of 1 January 2025, only requests for authorisation and settlement of missions received via the X-Up platform, which can be accessed via the following link, will be considered:

X-UP Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche
 
The first step in using the platform is to carry out a simple profiling as indicated below:
 
- Create a new account with your registration;
- Fill in the fields and save.
- After the appropriate verifications you will receive an account activation email.
- If already registered: Log in.
 
Any request for mission authorisation must be agreed with the Head of Curriculum and submitted no later than 15 days before departure. The request must contain:

- the authorization of the tutor;

- an exhaustive description of the scientific purposes of the mission, possibly accompanied by the poster of the event or other documentation useful to identify the reasons for the mission;

- a detailed estimate of board, lodging and transport costs (see annex in the further details section ‘Traceability of travel expenses for board, lodging, travel and transport’).

Lastly, in the Request for Authorisation, as in the Request for Settlement, you must indicate the Doctoral Coordinator - Prof. Alessandro Somma - as the person responsible for the funds.

The reimbursement of expenses incurred must be documented with original receipts (a copy of which, in PDF format, must be attached to the Mission Reimbursement Request on X-Up): boarding passes, aeroplane and train tickets, invoices and receipts for hotel, restaurant, etc. etc. must be placed in a sealed envelope in the name of Dr. Alessandro Bilancione, and delivered to the Faculty concierge desk, taking care to indicate your name and surname and the mission of reference as the sender.
 
N.B.
At the same time as the aforementioned procedure, it will be mandatory to request a travel authorisation via the InfoStud platform - function ‘Request travel authorisation’ - DOCTOR section - by following the instructions you will find therein.
The same instructions can also be found on the web page:
 
https://www.uniroma1.it/it/pagina/frequentare-un-dottorato
 
of the PhD website, in the section SUSPENSIONS, EXTENSIONS, WORK/ OTHER ACTIVITIES, TRAVEL: how to submit requests.
 
It should also be noted that this function must always be used, as it is created for the annual reporting of all study and research trips undertaken during the doctoral career, as well as for the request of the grant increase in the case of trips abroad.

Study or research periods abroad: how to obtain financial support - Scholarship increase 50%
 
The amount of the grant is increased by 50% for each month spent studying or researching abroad. An amount equal to 50% of a grant is paid for periods of study and research abroad, starting from the 38th cycle, also to doctoral students without a grant. The periods for which financial support can be obtained amount to a maximum of 12 months. Periods abroad must be authorised in advance by the Course Coordinator and supported by a certificate from the host institution.
 
Before leaving, you must obtain prior authorisation from the coordinator, which must be on headed notepaper and indicate the start and end dates of the period (day, month, year). If you are going to a country where there are no arrangements for health cover, you must contact the insurance office to activate insurance cover for your stay abroad.
 
Upon returning to Italy, you must send an e-mail at the end of the period abroad to the address:

ufficio.dottorato@uniroma1.it

(subject of the email: REQUEST FOR Bursary Enhancement)

If the period abroad is 7 months or more, you may submit a request for economic support to the Doctoral Sector at the end of the first term, presenting the certification of the host institution.

The economic support mentioned above is compatible and cumulative with other scholarships granted by national and foreign institutions useful for integrating the doctoral student's activities with stays abroad and with funding from the Fondo Giovani MUR.
