School of Advanced Studies
UNICAM has recently instituted an international School of Advanced
Studies with the objective of increasing the participation of foreign
candidates in our PhD programs. Foreign candidates will receive
preferential treatment in the awarding of PhD fellowships within the
international School of Advanced Studies.
The PhD courses involve 3 years of study and research , with a final
thesis that can be written in either English or Italian. Teaching
activities mainly involve seminars and topical Short Courses; research
experience in laboratories outside of Camerino is possible and actively
encouraged. Approximately half of the students admitted to the PhD
programs will be awarded fully paid fellowships; the other students will
need to find external financial support (however, research costs will be
met with internal funds).

Modern drugs and
traditional treatments in the control of malaria:
a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural approach
Training workshop
Camerino, Italy, 17 - 25 July 2008
The training workshop is targeted to doctoral candidates in biomedical
and social science disciplines, working in the field of malaria or who
plan to be involved in malaria research and control in their future.
The main focus of the workshop is on: (i) modern drugs, traditional
treatments and drug/treatment delivery strategies; (ii) the research
methodologies applied by biomedical and social science disciplines;
(iii) the factors (biological-technical, socio-economic, cultural,
political) that determine accessibility to and affordability of
drugs/remedies and that influence treatment behaviour of populations
living in endemic areas.
The workshop can rely on the expertise of lecturers and facilitators
from malaria research and control institutions from different malaria
endemic countries (Ghana, Burkina Faso, Rep. of Congo), from WHO and
from the Italian Malaria Network.
It is structured in plenary sessions and discussion groups in which
participants will focus on the malaria situation in selected countries.
