Following ANVUR's (the Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research Systems) initial evaluation of the IMT School's PhD Program, to improve the disciplinary coherence of the educational offering and to offer a more direct link to both academia and the job market, the School has reorganized the previous PhD Program. For the 2017/18 Academic Year therefore two distinct Programs will be offered: "Systems Science" and "Cognitive and Cultural Systems", under which the unaltered "Computer Science and Systems Engineering (CSSE)" and "Economics, Networks and Business Analytics (ENBA)" Tracks and the "Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage (AMCH)" and "Cognitive, Computational and Social Neurosciences (CCSN)" Tracks are paired and regrouped, respectively. As a result, the Call for Applications has been re-opened, with a new deadline of August 9th 2017 at 3:00 pm CEST. All new candidates are strongly encouraged to submit their application before the aforementioned deadline. If you have already submitted your application for the 2017/18 Academic Year, your application is valid and you do not need make any changes to your application materials. Your application will be automatically filed under the new corresponding PhD Program(s). Please see the link below for more information regarding the re-organization of the PhD Program. The IMT School Graduate Education Office is happy to answer any questions candidates may have (phdapplications@imtlucca.it; +39/05834326597).
