The ASI programmes for scientific training and research support

The ASI supports the scientific training and technical-professional growth of graduate students, recent graduates and young Italian researches in the field of science and aerospace technologies and their applications.

The Agency implements specific national and international programmes, in partnership with universities, the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) and the main space agencies around the world.

The ASI carries out several activities in this sector. It offers to graduate students and recent graduates the opportunity to participate in internship programmes and, through direct funding of scholarships, allows recent graduates to attend Master programmes, advanced training courses and study for a PhD. Thanks to the study abroad scholarships, you can also live a unique learning experience at the main international specialist centres. The ASI regularly offers also research opportunities by awarding scholarships and research grants aimed at training the future technologists and researchers.
