Abstract:
The main aim of the XIX IEEE Topics on Microelectronics Course is improving the knowledge of the participants in the field of the Microelectronics design, facing different topics and from different perspectives as the microelectronics world is. This Course is then addressed to students (Master and PhD), researchers, designers. In 2025 the two Courses will have different structure. The first one will have as Special Guest STMicroelectronics which provides for a full week an overview of the full development of an IC product. The second one will have the typical ToM course structure with five long lectures (with a sufficient time to give both overview and advanced details about the topic) given by academic professors or qualified experts coming from companies or research centers. In ToM2025 Courses, the academic and industrial approaches for research and state-of-the art progress are then presented. Different topics are addressed in the Course. This is intentional to give a wide-spectrum for the audience about the present and future challenges in the microelectronics world.
Il Career Day è il principale evento di incontro e placement organizzato dall’Università degli Studi di Firenze con il mondo del lavoro.
Aziende, studi professionali e cooperative che hanno posizioni aperte potranno incontrare studenti, neolaureati e dottori di ricerca provenienti da tutti gli ambiti di studio e ricerca, al fine di presentare la propria organizzazione ed effettuare colloqui.
Il Career Day 2025 si terrà il 31 marzo dalle ore 9 alle 17.30, presso il Campus Morgagni A (viale Morgagni, 44 – Firenze).
Students who delivered the first version of the thesis should complete the amendments suggested by reviewers and resubmit the new version before the end of February
Explaining my research to my neighbours – BIP
How can I communicate my research to a general audience? Explore science popularisation through two pathways
Course description;
This training week on Science Popularisation is designed to help participants develop the skills needed to engage with non-specialist audiences.
The goal is to answer the question “How can I explain my thesis to my neighbours?” through a series of training modules.
The first module, common to all participants, lays the knowledge base of Science Popularisation (or “médiation scientifique” in French), covering key principles, the current state of research on the topic, and its role in research labs.
After that, participants can choose from two modules:
- “Graphic Facilitation”: Participants, guided by an illustrator, will learn how to narrate their thesis project through writing and illustrating.
- “Oral Communication and Performance”: Based on the “Three Minute Thesis” competition, this module teaches participants how to write a clear, concise, and engaging presentation of their research, with a focus on delivering it convincingly in three minutes.

For the PhD program in Information Engineering see in particular the fact sheet
Phd Program in Information Engineering
Aims:
The Ph.D. course aims to train researchers capable of carrying out high-quality research work related to Information Engineering in academic and non academic research institutions as well as in industrial research & development centers.
The course consists of four curricula:
- Control, Optimization and Complex Systems
- Electronics, Electromagnetics and Electrical Systems
- Computer Engineering
- Telecommunications and Telematics
Biomedical Engineering is anorther subject represented inside the aformentioned curricula. These curricula cover all the main areas of Information Engineering.
Learning outcomes:
Students will achieve the Ph.D. title after demonstrating :
1. Knowledge and understanding
A systematic understanding in the curricula selected by the student among the four present in the course, and mastery of the skills and methods of research associated with that field.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding
The ability to conceive, design, implement and adapt a
substantial process of research in the field with scholarly integrity.
3. Making judgements
The capacity of contributing through original research that extends the frontier of knowledge by developing a substantial body of work, some of which merits national or international refereed publication; the capacity of critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis of new and complex ideas.
4. Communication Skills
The capacity of communicating with their peers, the larger scholarly community and with society in general about the areas of expertise the students work in.
5. Learning skills
The capacity of developing those learning skills that are necessary for them to continue to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy.
Courses
You must hold a MSc degree or equivalent (at least 5 years of university studies). You may apply before graduation but you must obtain your degree before October 31th of the current year. You also must be able to use English in a professional context (a CEFR B2 level is sufficient). Please consult the Procedures on this site.
Are there scholarships available?
There are scholarships provided by University of Florence and possibly additional scholarships funded by external companies or research institutions. Scholarships can be increased by 50% during periods spent abroad for study and research. All scholarships cover the full PhD program.
The duration of the program is three years.The program can be temporarily suspended and subsequently resumed under special justified circumstances.
As an applicant, you will be evaluated in a competitive way by a designated committee on the basis of your past academic achievement, as well as on the basis of your knowledge of disciplines directly relevant to the program, your aptitude to research, and your investigative skills. The selection process requires the submission of a research project and a formal interview before the committee.
Can I simultaneously submit applications for other PhD programs?
Yes. However, in case you are selected for two or more programs, you must submit your enrollment choice before the program starts. Also, if you are not immediately selected but ranked close to the top of the list, you may be still admitted, should other candidates ranked above you decide to enroll in another program
