Mind that there is a mistake in the English file, the correct sentence is: The test schedule and venue will be published by 24 July 2023 (instead of 15 June 2023) at http://dottorato.unipi.it/ – “Admission”.
The tests will take place in the period between 1 and 15 September 2023 (instead of 7 and 18 July 2023).

The scholarships foresee visits abroad and collaborations with the co-funding company. More information on the doctoral school can be found at https://www.dm.unipi.it/phd/.
