Training activities

Transferable skills

IUSS annually defines and organizes numerous interdisciplinary courses to enable Ph.D. students both to develop basic linguistic/communication and technological skills and transferable and soft skills that allow them to acquire competencies beyond the specialized notions of the individual Ph.D. course, while also offering the possibility of creating spaces for interdisciplinary comparison among Ph.D. students from different areas.

The planning of cross-curricular educational activities takes place annually, usually by January, following the definition of the budget dedicated to them. 

Courses are mainly taught in English.
