Scuole estive e programmi di summer students 2021.

Questa pagina riassume le summer schools che potrebbero essere di interesse per gli studenti dei corsi di laurea in fisica.

Per ulteriori informazioni potete contattare Francesco.Forti@pi.infn.it. 

La pagina verrà gradualmente updatata al momento in cui vengono pubblicati i bandi. Le parti in italico si riferiscono agli anni precedenti.

Ultimo update: March 30, 2021 

Il 2021 è caratterizzato da una grande incertezza sull'evoluzione della pandemia. In alcuni le Summer School sono sicuramente remote. In altri casi cercheranno di realizzarle in presenza se possibile.

Livelli degli studenti: 

• bachelor (studente triennale, terzo anno)

• master (studente magistrale)

• phd (studente dottorato)

Le scuole indicate sono principalmente destinate a studenti della triennale, magistrale, o neo-laureati. Non sono incluse le scuole destinate principalmente ai dottorandi.

Nella maggior parte di queste scuole il dipartimento di Fisica non ha niente a che vedere, a parte la collaborazione di alcuni ricercatori con i laboratori interessati. Le scuole organizzate dall’Universita’ di Pisa sono visibili a https://www.unipi.it/summerschool.

Si veda alla fine della pagina i commenti sull’eventuale riconoscimento dei CFU.

“Short” Summer schools, 1-4 weeks.

The “support’ column indicates whether the selected students are fully supported or not. In case of partial or no support you have to find other sources of funding, for instance research groups. 

Riconoscimento crediti formativi

La partecipazione a una scuola estiva può, in linea di massima, far acquisire crediti (CFU) validi per il conseguimento del titolo di laurea.

E' però necessario, prima di partecipare alla scuola, presentare un piano di studi, soggetto ad approvazione, che includa, oltre alla scuola, le altre attività formative (corsi, etc.) che si intende affrontare per conseguire il titolo.

Il complesso del percorso formativo, che può essere personale, e includere anche la scuola estiva, viene valutato dai docenti, per stabilire se sia sensato e valido: si tenga quindi presente che, qualora successivamente si cambiasse idea e si modificasse il piano di studi, non possiamo garantire che i crediti legati alla scuola e accettati nel primo piano di studi rimarranno validi e accettabili anche per il nuovo piano di studi. In tutti i casi, la partecipazione alla scuola verrà in linea di massima registrata nel Diploma Supplement, qualora sia stata comunicata la partecipazione.

E’ inoltre necessario dopo aver partecipato alla scuola, far registrare i crediti acquisiti. La modalità di questa registrazione dipende  dall’esistenza di una verifica finale e dal tipo di certificazione che la scuola rilascia, ed in alcuni casi può richiedere un colloquio con una commissione di docenti del dipartimento.
