The “Unipharma” projects are coordinated by the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in cooperation with the non profit foundation Noopolis and the universities of Rome “Tor Vergata" and Roma Tre.
Every year they offer fifty Italian recent Master’s degree graduates in pharmacy, chemistry, biology and biotechnologies, 24-week placements at over 40 leading European private and public Research Centres in 9 European countries.
Applicants are selected through a competitive call open to the MSc graduates of all Italian universities, based on CV and English language skills. In order to maximize their motivation selected trainees are allowed to choose their host centre. On the other hand, the research centres are always free to request further information, to interview potential trainees on the telephone, to meet them and to reject all applications if not satisfied.
The aim of the projects is, therefore, to provide an excellent scientific experience to some of the top Italian MSc graduates in chemical, pharmaceutical and bio-technological field.
In most cases both the trainees and their tutors are highly satisfied about the results. The trainees give their time and enthusiasm and get experience and memories for life in return. Most of them manage to enter selective PhD or job positions in Italy or abroad.
The final goal is to foster a new generation of excellent Italian scientists who will spend a significant portion of their career in other European countries and, also thanks to the use of English as a common language, will become real citizens of Europe.
