Third Cycle Dottorato Di Ricerca
The Dottorato di ricerca, a third cycle degree which was introduced in the mid-1980s and consisted in three years of Ph.D.-level courses and experimental work with thesis, all paid for by the state, gained popularity very slowly because only very few positions were made available by the state because of reasons of funding. Indeed, the Italian Republic has never made the dottorato di ricerca a requirement to become professors in the Italian academy. Beginning in 2000, unfunded positions for dottorato di ricerca have been made available, thus allowing a wider access to the degree.

Famous quotes containing the word cycle:
“The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
