The selection process includes an initial evaluation of qualifications such as the curriculum vitae, university exams taken, etc. Some qualifications are mandatory, while others are optional, and together they contribute to the overall score. Candidates who achieve the minimum score for eligibility pass this first stage and are admitted to the interview.
The interview is conducted in person, with the possibility of attending remotely. It includes an assessment of English language proficiency, which will be evaluated by the selection committee. If there are positions or scholarships related to specific research topics, the committee will assess the candidate's competence in relation to these topics.
At the end of the process, achieving the minimum required score allows the candidate to be included in the list of eligible candidates. The results of the tests and the ranking will be published on the Rankings and Enrolment page.
Note: A pre-competition evaluation is always required to assess the equivalency of foreign qualifications with the Italian qualifications required for participation in the competition.
