PhD Fellowships, Science, Cognition, and Technology, the University of Bologna (Italy)

A PhD programme devoted to “Science, Technology, and Humanities” was launched in 2007 by the University of Bologna (Italy) in cooperation with the Universities of Exeter (United Kingdom) and Konstanz (Germany).

The three-year programme, now renamed “Science, Cognition, and Technology”, combines fields such as the history, philosophy, and sociology of science with an emphasis on "knowledge societies".
The professors and researchers supporting the programme belong to a wide range of disciplines, including the history and philosophy of science, the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, economics, and literature (see the programme webpage: http://www.cis.unibo.it/STH/index.html ).

Students will be enrolled in one of the three participating universities, and will be encouraged to spend part of their three-year course of study at another university.

Two doctoral fellowships are being made available by the University of Bologna, beginning in October 2010. The deadline for applications is 22 June 2010. Instructions on how to apply are available at: http://www.unibo.it/Portale/Ricerca/Dottorati+di+ricerca/bandiXXVI.htm
