Since its foundation, FINO has placed considerable emphasis on teaching activities appropriate to doctoral studies. These comprise activities shared by all students in the doctoral program, and activities organized separately by the four different curricula.
Shared teaching activities
Shared teaching activities are principally located in the first year of the program. They include (2020-2021):
– 1. Arguments and Methods in Philosophy (10 credits)
– 2:  Skills (12 credits): a seminar on skills like Academic English and organization of Research (and Grants)
– 3: June Seminar  of PhD students (8 credits)
Cycle 36: Mandatory Teaching (1 and 2) will be held since November 2020 in Vercelli.
The seminar (3) depending on the previous lessons will be in Vercelli on June 2021.
Curricular activities
PhD students are invited to participate in curricular activities (you are not obliged to limit your activities to your own curriculum). For information on the curricular commitments see: 1-epistemology; 2-ethics&politics; 3- history of philosophy; 4- theoretical philosophy.
