In the issuing of the ranking, the Committee will take into account:

projects developed by the University of Pavia;
2) the Curriculum Vitae of the candidate;
3) the fair distribution of grants between the department involved and the geographical
regions of origin of the applicants.
In the case of scientific and professional value being equal, preference will be given to:
1) applicants employed by Universities/Institutions linked to the University of Pavia with a
pre-existing Cooperation Agreement (See: Elenco Accordi UNIPV, link:
