PROGRAM and ACTIVITIES

Program

The University of Padua, in collaboration with other universities, with the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and National Insitute for Astrophysics, proposes a PhD Programme in Technologies for fundamental research in Physics and Astrophysics, a study track with strong multidisciplinary features, aiming to develop technological and engineering expertise and skills that are essential for fundamental research in Physics and Astrophysics.

The training programme is based on the development of a research project, original and relevant for the progress of knowledge in the field of Technologies for fundamental research in Physics and Astrophysics. The research project will be based on one of the five available curricula of the PhD course.

It will also provide the PhD students with a set of tools and skills that will allow them to play a leading role in the field of cutting-edge technologies used in both public and private research and in the transfer of these technologies towards the national production chain.

Activities

In recent academic years, training activities have been planned to familiarize doctoral students with the mission, structure, organization, and services of INFN and INAF, as well as the main scientific and technological challenges that motivate the research of the two institutions and the tools used to carry it out. Students also had the opportunity to visit important scientific and technological infrastructures, such as the Gran Sasso National Laboratories, the RFX Consortium, and the Legnaro National Laboratories.

The events also provided an opportunity for students to socialize and meet with teaching staff.
