The PhD program in Nanotechnology is a highly multidisciplinary program, offering a dynamic environment where renowned research centers connect with a vibrant community of young scientists.
The program prepares students for both experimental and theoretical research, ranging from fundamental studies to applied industrial research. Key areas include advanced characterization techniques, nanofabrication, self-assembly, soft matter, nanoscale physics, bionanotechnology, nanochemistry, and nanocatalysis. With an interdisciplinary approach, the program bridges chemistry, engineering, physics, biology, and medicine.
Entirely in English, it offers a collaborative and international environment, preparing students for careers in academia and industry. Strong partnerships with research institutions and companies provide also unique career opportunities, including industrial research labs and production-site visits.
The program is also partner of the international network “Physical and Chemistry of Advanced Materials” (PCAM), which promotes internationalization through the exchange of students.

A PhD in Nanotechnology offers opportunities of employment in sectors that are the most varied given the wide range of applications of nanotechnologies: food, energy, electronics, manufacturing, medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, cultural heritage. The Doctorate course in Nanotechnology at the University of Trieste, characterized by a very strong multidisciplinarity, trains professional figures suitable for covering roles of researcher/ research and development managers/ laboratory or project managers in public and private structures where are required skills to manage research projects that involve the interaction of specialists from various disciplines.
The PhD in Nanotechnology can also hold positions of organizational-managerial responsibility in the industrial and service sectors linked to advanced technologies and innovation. The strong collaboration with research institutes and organizations in both the Italian and cross-border territory and with companies also offers the new research doctors numerous placement opportunities. From surveys carried out in recent years it results that more than 90% of the students is employed in occupations directly related to their PhD in Nanotechnology.
