150 hours

Once (or twice) per year SISSA students can enter a competition to be assigned a paid activity from the school. The available activities are connected with services rendered by the school, with the exception of those involving teaching, examinations and administrative responsibility (e.g. library, web pages update, plotter service, etc...).

The competition usually takes place in September/October and is announced on this web page and by an email sent to all PhD students from the Students' Secretariat. The name of this competition - 150 hours (centocinquanta ore) - means that the activity is supposed to last exactly 150 hours to be distributed throughout the academic year. Students may request to be considered for a maximum of two activities and may also request to be assigned less than 150 hours, with a 50 hours minimum per activity. Students are paid 10.30 euros per hour and this income is tax-free.

The Rules governing the 150 hours competition can be found in Regulations.
