Examples of professional profiles consistent with the Master are positions of high responsibility in the field of cooperation for human and social development, of volunteering and in the third sector within national and international bodies and organizations, including non-governmental ones, as well as educational institutions, institutions in the field of social, cultural, economic, legal and health cooperation, both for managerial positions and highly specialized consultancy and planning posts. The added value of this MSc lies in encouraging a global vision of migratory phenomena, with an approach that goes beyond the traditional approach of linguistic and cultural mediation. The understanding of the migration phenomenon is enhanced by studying and analyzing problems related to the development of human, social and economic issues both in the countries of origin and in the countries of destination. This interdisciplinary approach is developed through the direct involvement of professors, scholars, and practitioners in the field of anthropology, law, economics, political sciences, health sciences, and sociology, whose, collectively, provide a theoretical and practical approach that allows creating appropriate skills to understand, manage and regulate migratory flows in the perspective of human and sustainable development.

The aim is to strengthen the proposed curricula and to guarantee students a complete and comprehensive view of the topics addressed, projecting them at the core of the issues with testimonials and practical experiences. Lectures and meetings with experts and practitioners of the sector constitute the added value of the Master that is unique thanks to its combination of theoretical notions and practical foundations. The exchange with professors, lecturers, scholars, operators, practitioners, and experts from institutions with which Sapienza has stipulated such partnerships guarantees comprehensive training on migration issues, strengthening both the theoretical and practical skills of participants.

Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the competition. Once the procedure is completed and the deadline closed, candidate departments will receive via e-mail a confirmation message confirming the acceptance of the application. Applications must be accompanied by the following documents (attached in a single PDF file), whose absence would result in exclusion from the competition: 1. a description of the department applying to the competition with special emphasis on the governance of the international recruitment process, 2. a report of the department track record with the post-docs/assistant professors employed in the last 5 years, including their updated CVs, with particular attention to international hiring, 3. a description of the department strategy, including information on the salary and other contractual terms that will be offered to the job market candidate to be complemented by the foundation’s fellowship, 4. a declaration of consent to handling the candidate departments’ data pursuant to regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016. Article 3 - Scientific Committee The Scientific Committee will be responsible for the selection procedure and identify the three departments to which the top-up fellowship is to be awarded. The Scientific Committee is appointed by the Foundation’s Board of Directors and is composed of experts in economics and finance from European countries. The Scientific Committee can decide to appoint an ad-hoc Commission composed of at least two external academic experts to conduct the selection process under the supervision of Scientific Committee itself. Candidate departments will be assessed based on their track record and their strategy report. The prizes will be assigned according to merit to the three best performing departments. One of the prizes, however, can be awarded to a less performing department if it features a strongly innovative strategy. The top-up fellowships will be awarded by the Chairman of the Foundation, based on the final judgment of the Scientific Committee by December 1, 2024. Article 4 – Fellowship Amount, Duration, and Renewals The top-up fellowships will start to be paid on October 1, 2025. Each top-up fellowship worth €150,000 and has a 3-year duration. The Foundation will pay the prize directly to the winning departments in three annual installments (€50,000 each year for the 3-year period). The winner departments can alternatively use the top-up fellowship to extend the duration of the fellowship up to 6 year or split it between two researchers for a 3-year position each. Both the extension of the top-up duration and its assignment to two different researchers must be formally approved by the Foundation. This top-up fellowship complements the salary and contractual terms of the standard tenure track assistant professorships. The Foundation awards the departments and delegates them to appoint the recipients of the top-up fellowship. The winning departments must notify the Foundation of the names of the top-up recipients by May 31 2025. Recipients selected in the 2024/25 PhD job market must be appointed as assistant professors by the winning institutions. The fellowship is to be recognized as a complement to their salary, and the corresponding position is to be named UniCredit Foundation Top-Up Fellowship. The UniCredit Foundation will be acknowledged in appropriate University and/or department publications, websites and reports. Fellowship recipients are selected independently by each institution and named UniCredit Foundation fellows. If a winning department is unable to assign the fellowship to a recipient, the Foundation may allow it to use the fellowship in the subsequent year. If the recipient’s position is terminated earlier than planned, the department must timely inform the Foundation, and the Fellowship is terminated accordingly. The winning departments and research institutes cannot take part in this competition in the two following years. To monitor the success of this initiative, by the end of September of each year, the department should send to the Foundation a progress report about the recipient’s research and an assessment by the Head of the department. Article 5 – Acceptance of the Fellowship Terms and Conditions Taking part in the competition entails unconditional acceptance of all the articles of this notice. 1The UniCredit EU perimeter includes the following countries: Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
