• I would like to put here something very general about elections, to be updated according to the Statuto

Every student can stand as a candidate to be Sector Council representative while only students with Italian citizenship can stand for the Administrative Council. In order for the elections to be valid at least 30% of the voters should cast their vote. If someone resigns or completes his/her PhD program a by-election can be held (provided that there is no candidate who stood in the previous elections who gained at least 10% of the votes). Elections are usually held in December and students are informed by an email sent from the Students' Secretariat.

Administrative Council

The Consiglio d'Amministrazione (Board of Directors) is the governing body of the school which has the task to approve and control the budget of the school, the issues concerning both academic and administrative staff and financial matters in general (contracts, number of fellowships, missions, agreements for collaborating with other institutions...)

Its members are the Director, four representatives elected by the faculty, a representative for the administrative staff, two representatives elected by PhD students and two external members.

In general, all the decisions taken by the Senate pass through the Board of Directors in order to check and keep track of the committment for expenses and income. As students' representatives, we care above all that at the hearth of the School our needs and expectations are kept, making SISSA a nice place to live in and an invaluable school of research and science.

Evaluation Nucleus

The 'Nucleo di Valutazione' (Italian for 'Evaluation Nucleus') is the School main evaluation organism; its duty is to oversee the quality and effectiveness of research and didactic activity, certify the adequacy of the School teachers, and analyse the results of the yearly Students' Questionnaire.

The Nucleus is an independent branch aimed at performance evaluation, as established by Italian 'Legge 150/2009'. The Students' Representative elected inside this organism also sits in the School Council.

Five members take part in the committee: one Professor appointed by the School Director, one Student elected by all the PhD Students of the School, and three external members appointed by the Director and approved by the School Senate and Board of Directors. Each member works in the committee for two years and his/her position can be renewed only once.
