INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH 10% BUDGET

STAAA PhD students have a right to an annual amount of € 1,624, which is the so-called “10% budget” dedicated to supporting their national and international activities including training and dissemination (see article 13.6 of the Regulation).  Within DISTAL department, this budget must be directly provided by each own supervisor. The deadline for making use of these funds is October 31st of the 3rd academic year.

Please note that PhD students, prior the 40th cycle, receiving their funding from foreign countries are not entitled to the 10% budget; the same is true for PhD students coming in order to carry out a Joint Research PhD Thesis at the moment of enrollment, unless special funding for this purpose has been set aside. Otherwise, for industrial Ph.D. students (employees of firms and bodies), 10% budget must be directly provided by the each own company/body.

The 10% budget should be preferably used for covering travel expenses related to research periods and participation to courses/congresses in Italy and abroad.
