Details of the courses above are available at PhD Courses – 2025 – 2026 and at PhD ad-hoc Courses Calendar
In addition to the courses listed above, PhD students may also attend courses offered by other PhD programs, provided that this is agreed in advance with their (co-)supervisor. The supervisor must confirm that the selected course offers a clear scientific and cultural benefit for the student’s research activities, as these external courses can then be recognized within the individual training plan.
For the current academic year, students are encouraged to consider in particular:
- “Mathematics for Signal Processing” by Prof. A. Cicone, organized within the PhD Program in Mathematics and Modeling of the DISIM Department and that will follow the schedule below:
- Thu 29 Jan 2026 11:00 – 13:00 (2h)
- Fri 30 Jan 2026 11:00 – 13:00 (2h)
- Tue 10 Feb 2026 11:00 – 13:00 (2h)

- Tue 17 Feb 2026 14:30-17:30 (3h)
- Fri 20 Feb 2026 9:00 – 11:00 (2h)
- The course offering of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), accessible at:
