The PhD Schools in Mathematics at the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore are organizing a meeting for master’s students interested in applying for a PhD position in Pisa. The aim of this event is to introduce prospective candidates to the vibrant research environments of both institutions.
In a lively and welcoming atmosphere, participants will have the opportunity to attend presentations by potential supervisors and engage in discussions with them. The program includes:
- Research talks by professors and researchers from the Scuola Normale Superiore and the University of Pisa, showcasing their areas of interest.
- Informal meetings with current PhD students, offering insights into their work and personal experiences in Pisa.
The list of speakers will be announced soon.
Limited financial support, including partial or full reimbursement of travel and/or accommodation expenses, is available for selected participants. A number of rooms have also been reserved at a university-owned residence and may be allocated to prospective participants.
Registration (and funding requests) will close on January 11, 2026, at 1 pm (CET). Please read the How to Apply section before registering.
The event is organized by Luigi Ambrosio and Michele Benzi (Scuola Normale Superiore), as well as by Matteo Novaga and Francesco Sala (University of Pisa).
