About

This PhD Brain, Mind and Computer Science program at University of Padua, developing for 3 years, offers ad hoc courses taught by the Faculty Board and by Italian or foreign experts. 

Overview

This PhD Brain, Mind and Computer Science program at University of Padua proposes two curricula:

  • Neuroscience, Technology, and Society
  • Computer Science and Innovation for Societal Challenges

Each student is affiliated with one curriculum and is followed by the main supervisor belonging to the same curriculum and by a co-supervisor from the other curriculum, who cooperates with the supervisor in guiding the student along an interdisciplinarity path. Students follow a personalized program based on their discipline of origin, their research interests and their research project.
