    Research internship and PhD studies

    I do not normally take research interns unless s/he is somebody who wants to do a PhD with me.

    If you you would like to apply for a PhD in Trento, you'll be pleasantly surprised that we run everything in English and that you don't have to come to Trento for the admission exam. For further information, visit the International Graduate School in Information and Communication Technologies web site or download this presentation (not really meant for prospective students but you get an idea).

    How to make sure your email is deleted

    If you want to be sure that your email is deleted make sure to include among your favourite research topics something completely remote from the ones in this page. A good example:

    Courses

    For the Courses see the Didattica on-line Web Page at the University of Trento. If you are a lecturer and you would like to steal my English slides, please drop me a note. Being a great thief myself I'll be pleased to share.

    Personal Activities

    I'm also involved in the sector of International Voluntary Service Organizations.

    In these days, you might be interested in reading an essay written for a post-degree Foreign Relations course by the Italian Minister of Forein Affairs I followed in 1995 (once upon a time I won the competition to become U.N. officer). I advocated a different relationship between Western Democracies and Militant Islam, rather than funding conservative islamist leaders (like Saddam Hussein or Saudi princes) to bash communists. History proved me right. Download it in PDF or Postscript.

    You can also see my wife (Beatrice De Blasi or also here) web page. I met her while a volunteer for the italian branch of Service Civil international.
