Yearly Report (Passaggio d’anno)
Each year, in September, PhD students will be requested to submit a yearly report. The template can be downloaded in this page (see below). The report should be approximately two-pages long. Only for PhD students to be admitted to the final exam, the report should cover the research activity and accomplishments of the entire PhD period (4 pages).
The report should be then uploaded to https://dottorandi.unibo.it/ within the deadline that will be communicated by the vice-coordinator via email at the beginning of September.
To be admitted to the following year of the PhD course, a colloquium is also required. Concerning it, it will take place before the end of October according to a schedule that will be communicated in due time (you will be contacted at the end of September by the commissions for further information). The colloquium is based on a presentation of your activities of ca. 15 minutes and, if required, may be performed remotely.

- PhD tutors will be contacted in order to provide a written evaluation of the PhD candidate and to indicate reviewers for PhD thesis (2+2).
