Our mission is to provide support to our students in their research field assisting them with their scientific work, publishing novel results, international dissemination, and getting acquainted with the most recent protocols and methods. The school motivates PhD in Health Sciences to take part in national and international project applications. Through our international contacts we give our Ph.D. students the opportunity for mobility and to gain experience abroad and to expand their scientific contacts. The Ph.D. students are involved in the scientific research of the supervisors and scientific members of the Doctoral School. The research topics are continuously being expanded due to the new results achieved by the Ph.D. students. These novel results will be integrated into the research topics.
