in the Center of Excellence DEWS (
http://www.dews.ing.univaq.it/index.php?id=dewshome),
and in the Center of Excellence EX_EMERGE (http://exemerge.disim.univaq.it/
),
which combine Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics.

Our PhD program in ICT also offers an opportunity to spend training periods
in world-wide renowned schools having a formal institutional agreement with
the University of l'Aquila, such as: University of California at Berkeley,
University of California at Los Angeles, Swedish Royal Institute of
Technology (KTH), ETH Zurich, University College London, Carnegie Mellon
University, University of Cambridge, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya,
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Tabriz, Tianjin
University.
