Course Details

Objectives: CISAS supervises the Ph.D. School in Sciences, Technologies
and Measurements for Space. The school present two different adress:
- Astronautics and Satellite Scienze (ASS)
- Mechanical Measurements for Engineering (MMI)

The main purpose of the Space Sciences, Technologies and Measurements (STMS) PhD Course (hereafter, the Course) is the formation of Research Doctors able to realize research in disciplines connected with Sciences, Technologies and Measurements for Space with a broad vision of the respective problematic.
Doctoral students usually operate within defined programs and experiments of interest for the Course Curriculum research subjects, acquiring wide and in
terdisciplinary knowledge, learning methodologies and techniques.
The educational process shall enable students to acquire skills and credits toward a University career, and/or a position in other Research Institutes, or
Industries. It should also stimulate the potential capabilities of the doctoral student to induce a fall-out of his/her knowledge in the territory, to stimulate the growth of high tech spin-offs, to improve local industry’s ability to compete in the wider national and
international scenario. A corollary of the above approach is the formation of Research Doctors capable to raise to leadership levels in scientific and/or industrial programs.

Intended for: Students
