Deadlines

The most important deadlines for each Year in a Cycle are reported below (Y0 is the Cycle starting year, e.g., Y0 = 2022 for the Cycle 38).

Those deadlines can be different for PhD Students who:

  • asked for a suspension of their program;
  • asked for the extension due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • started their PhD program under specific calls (e.g., PON, PNRR,...)

The Research Proposal (Y0) or the Annual (Y1, Y2) or Final Report (Y3) must be written following the corresponding SIMN/MST template downloadable below.


Detailed deadlines for the PhD Students completing their third (and final) year of the PhD program can be found at this link.
