Training activities from XXXIX
The PhD student will carry out her/his research project along one of two curricula: Early Phase Drug Discovery or Pharmaceutical Technology and Nutraceuticals, joining one of the laboratories of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Besides laboratory research under the tutoring of a Professor or Researcher member of the Academic Board, the PhD students will attend various teaching activities (table 1).

Frontal teaching provided by Doctoral Course in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Type A)
The courses planned by Academic Board cover topics in Scientific Disciplinary Sectors relevant to the two curricula, with focus on medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, organic and bioorganic chemistry, nutraceuticals, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Relevance will be also given to interactive teaching consisting in group activities coordinated by a tutor. Following the teaching activities of type A planned for the XL cycle are reported, of which some are specifically planned for one of the two curricula. The PhD students will select courses among those offered in order to acquire at least 18 CFU.
PhD students are also invited to participate in:
-national/international congresses and/or workshops, (Type D) also as speakers;
-national and international schools (Type D) on topics related to the PhD program. The suggested schools can be found in: https://dsf.unipg.it/alta-formazione/dottorato-di-ricerca/training-activities-phd/suggested-international-and-national-schools-2;
-seminars on topics specifically addressed the two curricula and organized by the academic board (at least 3-4 per year), other doctoral courses, universities/institutions or companies.
The academic board will attribute CFU to the above mentioned activities according to the new guidelines (programming of training offers 2024-2025), Table 2.

Integration of doctoral students in the scientific community
The PhD program promotes the integration of the enrolled PhD students in the scientific community by:
- Training moments for the exchange/presentation of research results, as follows:
- at the end of the first and second year (between December-January), the PhD student presents a written report in English on the research activities carried out. The report is examined and evaluated by a commission made up of members belonging to the Academic Board which evaluates the ability to develop and illustrate the research project and eventually suggests revisions;
- at the end of the first year, each PhD student gives a seminar on the preliminary results;
- at the end of the second year, each PhD student presents a monographic thematic seminar on topics related to her/ his curricular path.
Both seminars will be held in English.
- attending national/international congresses and/or workshops, also as speakers (at least one in the three-year period)
- attending national and international schools on topics related to the PhD program (at least one in the three-year period). The suggested schools can be found in: https://dsf.unipg.it/alta-formazione/dottorato-di-ricerca/training-activities-phd/suggested-international-and-national-schools-2.
The integration of the enrolled PhD students in the scientific community is also favoured by the participation in doctoral networks, such as EUROPIN and Paul Erhlich MedChem, and international scientific networks and research projects.
The PhD student is required to present the list of training and research activities carried out annually by filling in the appropriate form (PhD card).
Training Activities XXXVIII Cycle
The Academic Board defines the teaching activity plan for each cycle corresponding to 40 credits along the three-year program, of which at least 24 credits of frontal teaching, consisting of theoretical courses or instrumental laboratory courses.
The courses cover topics in scientific disciplinary sectors to which the members of the Academic Board belong, with particular focus on medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, organic and bioorganic chemistry, nutraceuticals, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Relevance will be also given to interactive teaching consisting in group activities coordinated by a tutor.
Ad hoc teaching activities planned by the Academic Board of the Doctorate in Pharmaceutical Sciences:theoretical courses (1 CFU = 6 hours); instrumental laboratory courses (1 CFU = 8 hours).
Other teaching activities: courses organized by other Departments, Universities, Institutes and Research Centers) (1 CFU = 6/8 hours).
Courses of the University of Perugia or other institutions to acquire Linguistics, Computer skills and "Soft Skills" in general (1 CFU = 6 hours).
PhD students are also invited to participate in:
- National/international congresses and/or workshops, also as speakers, at least one in the three-year period (0.5 CFU per day).
- National and international schools on topics related to the PhD program, at least 2 in the three-year period (1 CFU per day). Suggested International and National Schools
The academic board will evaluate the CFU attribution for attendance in schools not included in the suggested list.
Seminars on topics related to the curricula held by high-profile Italian and foreign experts from the academia, research institutions, and companies (each 0.33 CFU).
Teaching and tutoring activities: PhD students can carry out limited tutoring and/or integrative teaching activities, consistent with the research project, for students of bachelor's degree courses, single-cycle degree courses and master's degree courses (Max 2 CFU per year).
- Integrative teaching activities (1 CFU = 6 hours)
- Tutoring activities: (1 CFU = 25 hours)
Internship abroad: (1 CFU per month)
Training moments for the exchange/presentation of research results are envisaged:
- At the end of the first and second year, the PhD student presents a written report in English on the research activities carried out. The report is examined and evaluated by a commission made up of members belonging to the Academic Board which evaluates the ability to develop and illustrate the research project and eventually suggests revisions;
- At the end of the first year (between December-January), each PhD student gives a seminar on the preliminary results;
- At the end of the second year (around February), each PhD student presents a monographic thematic seminar on topics related to her/ his curricular path.
