Following the XXXVI cycle (according to the Italian Doctorate indications), the XXXVII cycle started in Oct. 2021, with two additional PhD students granted by UniME SCOPE funds (Victor Longo and Palmarita De Moro) in addition to the two who started in Oct 2020 (Luana De Pasquale and Francesco Pio Abramo).

A series of 5 online events for SCOPE partners, open also to external participation, were realized in 2021, to present the activities of the young researchers and PhD students associated with SCOPE activities and favour the exchange of information and start of collaborations. Around 10 lectures at each event were presented (for a total of about 50 presentations) with an average participation of 60-70 attendants at each event.
