II. Research (20 UC -ECTS-)

In order to help the students develop as scholars according to the rigorous European demands, the FIDEM Diploma includes a final research project (20 ECTS), which is equivalent to the projects requested at the students’ home universities. This project, which needs to result in a publishable piece of work, will be supervised by a professor at the student’s home university in collaboration with a professor who has taught the  FIDEM course in Rome. The final project will be evaluated by a committee of at least two experts in the field chosen by the student.
