The PhD program in *Life Course Research* fosters the study of life courses and the significant events that shape them from a *holistic and transdisciplinary perspective*. The program establishes a Scientific Consortium between scholars from the *biomedical, psychological, and socio-demographic fields*. The PhD program in *Life Course Research* will train a new generation of highly skilled scholars with a strong emphasis on *quantitative methods *and *data analysis*. *Unique features* of the Phd in *Life Course Research* are: 1) *Thematic* rather than disciplinary identity; 2) *Super-departmental* and *super-regional* nature of the Consortium to overcome the fragmentation of local approaches; 3) *Multilevel teaching structure* (national/local).
