School coordinator: prof. Stefano Giorgini
Vice School coordinator: prof. Riccardo Checchetto       

Doctoral Programme:
The school offers its students top level didactic activities coordinated with the department for physics and the faculty of  mathematical, physical and natural sciences. The school’s main aims are to:

1. provide its students with the skills needed to carry out highly qualified research activities at universities, public or private bodies;
2. develop the ability to autonomously work in the scientific field with creative originality and meticulous methodology;
3. shape physics able to exert their knowledge and abilities in different fields, thanks to a solid foundation and thanks to the fact that physical sciences are interdisciplinary;
4. train researchers used to working in groups, used to international collaborations, to communicating research results and to formulating scientific projects.
