FACOLTÀ DI SCIENZE MATEMATICHE, FISICHE E NATURALI CENTRO DI RICERCA I-LAMP - INTERDISCIPLINARY LABORATORIES FOR ADVANCED MATERIALS PHYSICS Developing an International PhD Program in Science among Catholic universities: Emerging Physics Research and Opportunities I-LAMP, the ''Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Advanced Materials Physics'', hosted by the Department of Mathematcs and Physics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Brescia (Italy), organizes a workshop to settle the basis for the new international PhD program in Physics among a cluster of Catholic Universities. The aim of the program is to foster excellence in research and the formation of broad-thinking young scholars. The idea of such a program comes from the opportunity to build on an already present common ethical and educational basis among Catholic Universities and to harmonize their cultural experience. The workshop will allow scientists from four of the major Catholic universities to discuss common scientific interest and seed scientific collaborations.
