Constraints for the activation of the joint PhD
- The minimum time to be spent at destination strictly depends on the other institution, and is discussed during the negotiation
- There is quite a lot of heterogeneity, e.g., from 6 months for Portugal to 24 months for KTH, so this is a very important point
- The joint PhD must be activated as soon as possible, as the negotiation may be very long - in general as soon as the PhD is started and within the first 12 months of the PhD
How to proceed
- The following document must be filled in an signed by the two supervisors plus the coordinator of the PhD program
- The document formalizes the motivation for the activation of the joint Phd, plus the administrative contacts at destination
- The whole process takes usually 3-5 months
- Documents to be sent to Irene Gino (please cc the INTE committee)
How the joint PhD works for the PhD student
- The PhD student must follow the rules of both institutions
- For Politecnico, this implies that the student must follow the usual guidelines for course, publications, admission to next year and final exam
- Additional requirements may be imposed by the host istitution
- The PhD defense will be carried out most likely in Torino, but this point may be under discussion during the negotiation phase
