Signed the agreement between the Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy) and the Universidade de Sao Paulo (Brazil) An agreement between the Università degli Studi di Milano and the Universidade de Sao Paulo was established for an International Double PhD program aimed at academic cooperation of co-supervision of PhD students of the Graduate School of Morphological, Physiological and Sports Sciences of Milan. Their PhD frequency will be spent at the Universidade de Sao Paulo (Department of Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto). The duration of the PhD program will be 3 years and will lead to a double diploma in Morphological Sciences and Physiology and Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. For information morfologiaumana@unimi.it The Doctoral School in Morphological, Physiological, and Sport Sciences comprises doctoral programs in biomechanics of sports and human movement; cellular, tissue and organ morphology (qualitative and quantitative aspects); functional anatomy of the stomatognathic apparatus; functional anatomy of human movement; functional evaluation of sportspersons; human and cellular physiology; neuroanatomy and neurocytology; physical activity, fitness and wellness; sports nutrition; sports and movement training. The Doctoral School is a lively community counting over 70 PhD students and more than 45 international teaching staff. Together we want to: * Train biomedical researchers to explore the fundamentals of living systems at all levels - from molecules to cell to body - and to use that knowledge to improve human health. * Provide an integrated framework for doctoral training that includes basic biomedical research and clinical research. We believe in the collaboration between disciplines and technologies, and between health care professionals and basic scientists. We encourage PhD students to dynamically explore the link between health and disease. * Offer career perspectives for doctoral graduates in different sectors, at both academic and non academic levels. The Doctoral School in Morphological, Physiological, and Sport Sciences organizes frontal lessons, guest lectures, information sessions, promotional events and interaction with industry. Top-level training is offered to doctoral students both within and outside of their own discipline. The PhD students and the Doctoral Programs are integrated into active research environments with international communication and exchange of scientific knowledge. The PhD students are involved in specific research projects aimed at the preparation of a scientific thesis. Dissemination of the results of the projects through scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, international meetings, courses and workshops is encouraged. The Doctoral School (Doctoral program in Physiology- molecular physiology) participates to a joint international program with the Paris Lodron University Salzburg (Austria) and the Paracelsus Medizinische Privatuniversitat Salzburg (Austria). PhD students will receive a double degree "Dottore di ricerca" (Italy) and "Doctor Rerum Naturalium (Ph.D, Austria)". For information: Dr. Silvia Dossena silvia.dossena@pmu.ac.at - professor Giuliano Meyer Giuliano.Meyer@unimi.it Doctoral programs: * Physiology (Fisiologia); * Morphological Sciences (Scienze morfologiche) * Sport Sciences (Scienze dello sport).
