Programme and coursesProgramme

The PhD programme in Science and Technology of Bio and Nanomaterials is a joint initiative between Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and CRO, the National Cancer Institute in Aviano.

During the the three-year full-time Programme, students manage their research projects in the laboratories of both Institutions, developing the ability to collaborate with specialists coming from different disciplines.
The first and second year are characterized by an advanced learning program.
PhD students are encouraged to develop part of their scientific program in foreign institutions, preferably in the second year. The minimum recommended period for the internship is three months. Internationalization is one of the priorities of the PhD Program: the PhD Course offers opportunities of study and cultural and professional growth in a prestigious network of universities.

Participation in top international conferences is recommended and financially supported.

Students are encouraged to participate to the departmental activities (lectures, seminars, presentations, workshops, etc.) during all the three years. If necessary, most of the courses and seminars can be given in videoconference mode.
