With the research project the student will master basic technologies; additional technical knowledge will be acquired by participation to specific courses organized by the Graduate School/Program and/or national or international agencies. Educational objectives The students will also be asked to discuss their data at local, national and international meetings; participation to congresses is also encouraged. During the course the student will acquire the ability to present the experimental data, to discuss articles printed in scientific literature, to communicate the results acquired in important fields of biomolecular and biomedical research At the beginning of each year, the student will define with his/her tutor the specific learning programme the best suits his/her needs and that will integrate the education that comes from the research experience performed with the supervision of the tutor. The tutor reports annually to the School Board about the activities of the student and provides recommendation on whether the student can by admitted to the next level of the course.

19 The common educational objective of all PhD programs of the School is education through research. Students acquire the analytical abilities, experimental methods and frame of mind that are necessary to advance knowledge and solve frontier problems in their discipline. A common and distinctive trait of all doctorates offered by the School is the study of complex systems, whether natural, artificial or hybrid. Neurosciences and Psychological and Psychiatric Sciences study the brain and its Educational objectives behavior, where the brain is the most complex system existing in nature. Computer Science studies and designs computational systems, that are typically artificial. However, the border between the natural and the artificial is blurred, and many systems are rather hybrid. In Applied Biotechnologies, research in biochemistry, genetics and physiology of plants is finalized to food safety, environmental protection and agriculture, where artificial factors overlap and intervene over the natural substrate of plants' biology. Similarly, research in Computer Science ranges from bioinformatics, where one designs biologically-inspired computational models, to the quest for reducing energy consumption in computers, hitting the physical substrate of electronic computers.
