The PhD program spans three years and aims to train versatile young researchers capable of operating in fundamental and applied research at universities and research institutions, as well as in industrial, financial, and corporate consultancy sectors. 

The program provides foundational training, especially during the first year, which focuses on completing the candidate’s cultural and academic foundation and initiating them into research. Advanced courses on research topics—covering experimental, theoretical, and applied aspects—are offered throughout the three years, complemented by seminars conducted by faculty members and researchers from other Italian and international institutions. During the second and third years, the focus shifts primarily to research activities.
