On November 21, 2023, the Candidates will be interviewed and assessed by an examination committee chaired by the discipline coordinator for humanities, theology and arts and composed of four full or associate professors (“professore ordinario” or “professore associato” on the Italian side and “doktor habilitowany” or “profesor tytularny” on the Polish side), representing the disciplines of English Literary and Cultural Studies as well as Translation Studies and Linguistics: three examiners shall represent the University of Silesia and one shall represent the Sapienza University in Rome.

The participation in the program is free of charge, but the costs related to the stay at the partner University must covered by the doctoral student himself or herself (the costs of transportation, accommodation, the costs of health insurance required by the partner, and third party liability insurance costs). At the same time, the doctoral student may apply for funds from the PROM program, make use of the Erasmus Plus scholarship offer, and other forms of support available at the University of Silesia.
