"IMT’s multidisciplinary environment, high quality of faculty and lectures, devotion to excellence, and beauty of its campus are a constant nudge into learning, improvement, and curiosity. While tightrope walking might be an extremely demanding walk, I believe that IMT is undoubtedly the premier institution to begin one’s transformational journey in science."

Research Fellow at Harvard University

"The IMT journey has been a lever for building an international network, working in close contact with utmost professors and researchers, while living a campus day to day dimension.  The facilities were excellent in Lucca, an enjoyable city in the dynamic Tuscany region. At IMT, the future career of the PhD candidate is carefully encouraged, prepared and sustained by the colleagues, professors and administrative staff."

"When I applied for IMT in 2016, I was already working as a business consultant for a large company. What ultimately convinced me about joining, was its interdisciplinary approach that brings international, top of class scholars together to collaborate in a unique research environment. Looking back, the skills gathered during this PhD – e.g., structured thinking, technical & communication skills, plus the endurance to master long-term projects – will help you to excel in all sorts of professional environments."

"IMT has been a defining experience on my academic journey. IMT, of course, has world-class facilities and exceptional faculty, but what sets IMT apart is the close quarter living with curious minds from different disciplines. The campus setup enhances the experience by fostering creativity within but especially across fields."

Luca Verginer

Postdoc at Chair of Systems Design at ETH Zürich

"IMT still pays off 10 years after graduation. The Ph.D. at IMT was a crucial milestone of my academic career. The combination of a small (but wonderful) town and a dynamic and international community of scholars in different disciplines was a perfect combination for the take off of my academic career."
