The activation of the Training Project can be carried out in different ways.
Internship/thesis at a facility of the University of Parma agreed upon with a faculty member.
At least 15 days before the start date of the internship/thesis, the student must fill out the Internship/Thesis Activity Start Communication Form and send it to the Company Referents Prof. Angelo Bolchi and Prof. Roberto Ferrari.

This mode requires the external institution to have registered, applied for the agreement, entered the name of the Academic Tutor, and initiated the internship/thesis with known student and entered the training project.
The student must indicate the Academic Tutor, a faculty member in the Genomic and Cellular Biomolecular Sciences major with specific expertise in the area of the internship/thesis project, who has made himself or herself available to serve in this role and who will assess the suitability of the training project.
With the subsequent approval by the Academic Tutor and the final endorsement by the Placement and Internship Orientation UOS, the initiation process will be concluded.
