The SID opens to PhD students

Published on 21 March 2016 in

Since 2016, the SID, with the aim of strengthening the disciplinary area, has been promoting the expansion of its members by allowing PhD students in the ICAR 13 sector to join and participate in the Society.
Therefore, all PhD students, as young researchers and scholars of the discipline, are invited to the national Assemblies. The next one is scheduled for April 21 and 22, 2016, at the University of Ferrara and will focus on the theme “Enhancing design to enhance the country.” On this occasion, in addition to the members, some important guests from our political scene will be present, with whom we can engage and request actions for dissemination, promotion, and enhancement.
For PhD students, the annual membership fee to the SID is 25 euros. The form and the request for presentation signed by two members are downloadable from the website.
