The PhD in Security, Risk and Vulnerability, an advanced training course offered by the University of Genoa, aims to train a new generation of researchers able to face the security challenges of the future.
In particular, through the curriculum in Risk, Climate Change and Sustainable Development dedicated to risk and climate change, CIMA Research Foundation and the University of Genoa offer an important opportunity for studies on risk mitigation and prevention, placing them in the broader context of sustainable development, biodiversity conservation and protection of human and animal life.
CIMA Research Foundation, which has been working on these issues since 2007, will ensure teaching by experienced researchers, provide operational and scientific facilities for PhD students and finance two scholarships. The curriculum will also allow for networking with foreign universities for the award of a joint or multiple doctoral degree. One of the objectives of the training and research pathway is in fact the creation of new collaborations and synergies with a view to international cooperation for global environmental and social sustainability.
PhD students will acquire a broad grounding in the practical and theoretical aspects of security and risk management, learn to conduct high-quality research and solve scientifically relevant and challenging problems.
The PhD in Security, Risk and Vulnerability opens up a range of career opportunities in academia, research institutes and research and development departments of international companies. Further career opportunities include the creation of spin-off companies and consultancy.
