INdAM Doctoral Programme in Mathematics and/or applications cofunded by Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions

The main feature of the Programme is to create a large network, coordinated by INdAM, of 20 Academic partner organisations (Universities) with their 21 PhD Schools, and 31 non-academic organisations, especially industries and enterprises, in order to build a multicultural and stimulating environment where excellence, interdisciplinarity, international and intersectoral exposure can offer to the fellows top-level training, research and working conditions. The network comprises around one half of the Italian PhD Schools covering Mathematics or Computer Science, and a large number of enterprises and industries. The features of the programme match all the objectives of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for their recruitment, in terms of Research Freedom, Non-discrimination and gender balance, Career development, value of mobility, Access to research training and continuous development, Recruitment. The programme complies also with the Principles of Innovative Doctoral Training: -Research Excellence, offering to the fellows a large choice of PhD schools and excellent research teams in all domains of mathematics and its applications; each partner organization hosts an INdAM research unit which will contribute to the success of each fellow's program. -Attractive Institutional Environment, offering fellows constant interaction and support with INdAM's national and international scientific structures with the possibility of interacting with other partner organizations and prestigious foreign organizations; -Interdisciplinary Research Options; the programme is open to every aspect of current research including the most applied and interdisciplinary aspects of Mathematics. In addition to Mathematics and/or its applications, Computer Science is available in 7 schools, Statistics in 2 schools, Physics in 1 schools, Life Sciences in 1 school, Mathematical models in 1 schools, Mathematical models in Engineering in 1 school. -International networking. Provided by: the existing international networks of INdAM and of the partner Universities; the contacts with visiting professors, both at INdAM and at Research Groups; the participation to INdAM Conferences and INdAM Workshops, collaborations with foreign top-level universities and institutes. -Transferrable skills training. Provided by collateral training and secondment periods at the partner organisations and at the enterprises and industries involved in the Programme. -Quality assurance. Transparent procedures for the selection and the award of fellowships, including appropriate redress procedures. Quality assurance for the PhD schools themselves, including procedures for awarding the final title, are checked by ANVUR (the Italian Committee for Evaluation of Research). -Working conditions. Fellows are recruited under a contract “Assegno di ricerca”, which includes social security coverage and social benefits (contribution to pension funds, health and accident insurance, maternity/parental benefits, including paid parental leave). Moreover INdAM will pay a mobility allowance, a travel allowance and a research cost contribution for the fellow. The programme consists of two calls. The duration of the programme is 60 months. The total number of fellowships: 20. The total number of fellow-month: 720.
