This PhD is a first step towards a European PhD in metrology to which could associate the existing structures in France, UK and Germany.
Job opportunities are encouraged by the possibility of training in highly qualified scientific laboratories, which are equipped with modern equipment and primary reference measurement samples; the interdisciplinary nature of the course, which includes collaborations with other universities and agencies, internships in joint projects, linguistic and computer training, experiences in the European and international research systems; the presence of scholars from different Italian universities that stimulate the mobility of students throughout the country, in order to facilitate the exchange of scientific information and comparison of different methodologies; the presence of scholars operating in industry sector or closely linked to industrial applications which support the diffusion of applied research; a board of scholars with different skills and experiences involved in new fields of measurement and certification, requiring the development of new standards and measurement methods.
Based on these innovative and interdisciplinary issues, the doctorate aims to develop new knowledge, responding to the needs of the society, and to form professional skills which could be included in these new fields of metrology.
