CRESCENDO research and training Doctoral Programme is focused on multidisciplinary approaches on Microbiome Studies on human, animal, soil, plant, food, environment and marine systems. All approved projects provide to the recruited PhDs with the necessary scientific knowledge, equipment and infrastructure to support research activities spanning from the observation of natural processes to clinical trials and to investigate the role and the possible use of complex microbial communities.

CRESCENDO offer to the 10 Early-Stage Researchers/PhDs an exciting training path for research in the Microbiome field. The recruited ESRs will be followed in their career development by the multidisciplinary expertise network of the TFM and have been assigned to different PhD Schools according to their specific subject of investigation.

The selection process was based on openness, transparency, merit, impartiality and equality for the candidates according to the Principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. The selection process is articulated in four steps: Eligibility check, CV evaluation, Interview and final ranking list.

A complete description of the selection process is available in the downloadable Guide for Applicants.
