In France, the UFI offers 3 doctoral contracts for a joint PhD with an Italian University. The amount allocated here is at least the minimum wage of a doctoral Contract dedicated to the only research activity which represents an annual gross amount of € 20,220 (€ 60,660 for three years).

• Postdoctoral insertion supports. The UFI / UIF co-funds up to 4 annual projects of postdoctoral insertion support for the French part, assegni di ricerca for the Italian part, to be awarded to researchers holding a PhD degree achieved in the framework of a Franco-Italian joint supervision and who defended their thesis during the two years preceding the publication date of this Call for proposals. This funding covers a research period of at least 6 months in a higher education and research institution of the partner country, in the framework of a scientific project. It amounts to € 25,000 per project and is assigned once to the same grantee.
