Funds for mobility

This fund is not available for visiting students.

Art. 14 comma 6 of the UNIFI Doctorate Regulation - From the second year each doctoral student (with and without scholarship but not visiting students) is assured a fund for mobility for 'research activity in Italy and abroad’ – of about 4.800 euros (in the three years).

The council requires the students to propose a plan of the expenses to be agreed with the supervisor, in order to use wisely and in a timely manner this resource.

For the COVID19 emergency the type of expenses allowed was extended, as long as they are "relevant to the student's educational path":

1. Publication costs of journal articles (only if in open access mode)

2. software licenses

3. registration and participation, even remotely, to: training courses and language courses, even remotely, "single courses" or other paid courses at universities, including other than the University of Florence or Pisa, even remotely - conferences and workshops - conferences and workshops in Florence or Pisa

4. costs incurred for the language revision of articles and/or thesis

5. laboratory consumables

6. Inventory assets, costing even more than € 516.46 euros, excluding VAT: laboratory equipment and computer equipment.

However, other expenses may be needed, of a different nature to those indicated above and for which the relevance to the training course can be demonstrated, and within the budget allocated upon the fund for mobility.
