At the end of the first and second year of their Ph.D., students are required to undergo an evaluation process for admission to the next course year. They have to:

• provide the coordinator with a short written report about what has been done during the previous year
• present and discuss their research activity before the Ph.D. faculty.

A few days after their admission to the next course year, students must present a new one-year plan of activities and they must fill in the usual form showing the number of credits they have already acquired.
