The Institute gives the opportunity to doctoral candidates to conduct their doctorate in collaboration with the members of the Faculty. Those interested can get in touch with Faculty members of the Institute according to their research interests. IPPL is also hosting PhD candidates under certain agreements of collaboration with National and International Universities and provides certain number of PhD scholarships under EU and National research Grants.
