Training Project - PhD Course in Agricultural Science and Biotechnology, Cycle XLI

The PhD student's training project consists of
a) in the development, under the guidance of the Supervisor, of an individual research programme referring to a specific disciplinary field among those on which the Course is focused;
b) attendance of doctoral-level teaching activities complementary to the research, not less than 20 CFU. The recognition of CFUs, which may be acquired by attending lectures and other educational activities, is carried out by the Board of Teachers, which authorises attendance and assesses the results. Teaching activities, which may also be organised jointly among several Courses, also include training activities aimed at supporting research activities and at providing tools to outline the professional identity of future PhDs.

The PhD course in Agricultural Science and Biotechnology provides for the acquisition of

At least 14 CFU
- by attending tutorials conducted in the supervisor's laboratory on experimental techniques relevant to the research project
- by attending (and passing any final examinations) the school scheduled annually by the Board of teachers of the PhD course; the school is held approximately in the winter-spring period
- by attending the annual workshop for PhD students in the agricultural area at the universities of CT, FG and UD; the workshop is held in the summer period, approximately
- by attending (and passing any final tests) courses/seminars in the area and discipline of reference organised by universities/research institutes/companies. The Board of Teachers assesses the suitability of these activities with respect to the student's training and research objectives and establishes the number of credits to be awarded

At least 6 CFU
- by attending (and passing any final examinations) transversal courses/seminars, chosen from those scheduled annually by the University in all areas. The courses scheduled for the current year, with an indication of the CFUs allocated, are available at https://www.uniud.it/it/ricerca/bacheca-ricercatori/iniziative-ricerca
- by attending (and passing any final tests) courses/seminars/conferences organised by the University or by other universities/research institutes/companies. The Board of Teachers assesses the suitability of these activities with respect to the student's training and research objectives and establishes the number of credits to be awarded

The individual research programme concludes with the writing of the thesis. The thesis, written in Italian or English, must contribute to the advancement of knowledge or methodologies in the chosen field of investigation.

The Teaching Board assesses the training and research activity carried out by individual doctoral students on an annual basis for the purposes of admission to the following year and the assessment of the thesis
