The current legislation, i.e. DM 226/2021 reforming doctoral courses, prompts universities to organize, even jointly with several doctoral courses, training activities – including interdisciplinary training – along with activities aimed at the improvement of languages and IT knowledge, and at enhancing research outcomes and intellectual property.
In this regard, the Doctoral Office of the University of Trieste, in agreement with all Heads of PhD Courses, fosters training of PhD students with an offer on a wide range of topics:

• Academic English
• Ethics and persuasive communication techniques
• Intellectual property protection
• Technology transfer
• Research management

The activities are continuously updated.


This training is:

• complementary to the research activity conducted by any PhD students
• interdisciplinary with regard to the topics addressed
• cross-training in that it involves PhD students, regardless of the course they are enrolled in
• optional: with no credit award, it is however critical for complementing and enhancing the PhD student’s global training.

Upon completion of each activity, requiring at least 75% attendance, participants will be delivered a certificate of attendance.
