Selection of participants 2023-2025

A panel of 8 scientists will evaluate all valid applications to NucPhys, following the approved selection criteria that are shown in the selection process section. The 8 panelists are:

  • A. Insolia (U. Catania)
  • R.G. Jimenez (U. Complutense Madrid)
  • L.M. Robledo (U. Autónoma de Madrid)
  • David Boilley (U. Caen)
  • M. Centelles (U. Barcelona)
  • D. Mengoni (U. Padova and INFN)
  • S. Romano (LNS Catania)
  • A.Gueli (U. Catania)
  • F. Soramel (U.Padova)
  • J. Gomez-Camacho (U. Sevilla)

J. Gomez-Camacho (U. Sevilla) will act as coordinator. The documentation sent by each applicant will be evaluated by three panel members (the maximum score at this stage is 50). The median of the marks of the three panel members will be considered as a preliminary evaluation for each candidate. Panel members will also write comments on each candidate. The Selection Committee will use the score obtained in this step of the process to select the best 60 applicants (approx) to proceed to the next stage, where students will be interviewed via videoconferencing by three members of the Committee (the maximum score in this second evaluation stage is 50). The questions to be asked, and global evaluation criteria, will be previously agreed, so that the marks in the interview would be homogeneous. The ranking of the candidates will be completed, including the points of the interview, and the language level.

In order to ensure a wide representation of nationalities, no more than 2 candidates from the same country may be awarded the scholarship (not applicable to India and China). 

The applicants will be classified as:

  • Group I: Applications of very good quality (total score higher than 75 points out of 100 and more than 25 in the interview). 
  • Group II - Reserve List -  Applications of good quality (total score between 60 and 75 points out of 100 and more than 20 in the interview). 
  • Group III: Applications of weak quality (total score less than 60 points out of 100). 

The panel members consider that the available places in the master (25), with or without EU funding, should be offered first to the applicants in Group I, and if there are vacancies left, to the applicants in Group II, following the ranking order provided.

Applicants who did not pass to selection phase of the interview and applicants in the Group III will be no longer considered for the master.

The first 15 applicants in Group I will be selected for EACEA scholarships based on the eligibility criteria set by the NUCPHYS consortium (4 programme country scholarships and 12 partner country scholarships). They will be notified and should reply the NucPhys secretariat if they accept the grant. There are 10 extra places in the master for self-financed students. One of these is covered by one extra scholarship granted by INFN-Padova for a Programme-Country student in path 1 and another one is covered by one extra scholarship granted by INFN - Catania. Thus, there are only 8 places for self-funded students.  

Universities in the Master Consortium are looking for partial financial help for these students. This help is not defined yet, accepted students will be notified of the help when available. If the Master is not completed with students in Group I, Group II applicants (Reserve list and Admitted students list) will be contacted.

 

After several iterations due to withdrawals, the final lists are for Intake 2023/2025:
