Visiting Fellows Programme
The University of Pisa funds visits by professors and researchers from foreign institutions. Visiting Fellows spend a period at the Department of Earth Sciences (DST), working with a DST host on joint research and teaching.

In 2026 the DST received funding to host seven Visiting Fellows. As part of their visit, each fellow gives a talk in the Visiting Fellow Seminar Series, open to students, staff and anyone interested.
