Seminars and tutoring activities:

  • Seminars organized by the FABIT Department (~30/year taught by teachers/experts in the field). Organizers: Prof. Anna Maria Porcelli and Prof. Giovanni Capranico.
  • Interdisciplinary seminars organized by the Institute for Advanced Study of the University of Bologna ( about 20/year held by teachers/experts in the field ).
  • Tutoring activities can be carried out (subject to authorization from the Faculty) in the teaching laboratories of the Bachelor's and Master's Degree courses relating to the research topics addressed (maximum 40 hr/year).
