PhD Cognitive Science Open Day
Venue: Palazzo Piomarta, Corso Bettini 84 - Rovereto
If you are thinking to apply for a PhD, the Open Day is an excellent opportunity to know more about the course program and the research opportunities within the PhD in Cognitive Science at the University of Trento, to meet current students and faculty members and to informally discuss your research interests with them.
The PhD Open Day will take place both in presence in Palazzo dell’Istruzione and online via Zoom platform. You can attend the conference in presence only if you own a myunitn account (after receiving authorization through the covid-19 access authorization widget, which must be requested by the 18th of June). The Open Day is otherwise accessible to anyone online. In both cases, registration to the event is required.
