Starting from XXXVIII Cycle, the following courses are specifically available for students enrolled in the Tech4Health program. For more detailed information regarding each course (schedule, delivery method, prerequisites, etc.), students are encouraged to contact the course instructor directly. Typically, Tech4Health courses are delivered during the summer months (June, July and September).
1. DEDICATED COURSE OFFERING:
Specific courses for Tech4Health students will be communicated through official channels.
In addition, each year a Google Form is sent to all students to gather their preferences regarding the Tech4Health courses they are interested in. This helps instructors better organize and tailor the courses based on the number of interested participants.
2. SEMINARS AND UPDATES:
In addition to the main courses, further seminars and training events are planned. Information about these will be shared in the News&Event section of the website, or sent directly via institutional email.
3. ADDITIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES:
All PhD students are also encouraged to attend transversal skills courses and other educational activities offered by the University of Brescia: cross-cutting skills and other training opportunities.
4. COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER PhD PROGRAMS:
Courses offered by other PhD programs at the University are also available, including (but not limited to):
Additionally, students may access courses organized by the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, particularly those offered by the PhD programs in Biorobotics and Emerging Digital Technologies.
IMPORTANT – Recognition of External Training Activities
To fulfill the requirement of 60 training hours for each PhD student, it is possible to attend courses outside the Tech4Health program. However, these external activities are NOT automatically recognized.
Therefore, students must:
- Obtain a certificate of attendance for each external course they complete.
- Send a formal request for approval to the program coordinator (Prof. Mauro Serpelloni), who will submit it to the Faculty Board for evaluation.
The Faculty Board may approve the following activities:
- External courses
