Presentation to the Program's Academic Committee of a research report on the LAUREA ACADEMIC platform with the research results obtained in the last year of work and the research activities proposed for the following academic year. The objective of this activity is for the doctoral student to inform the Program's Academic Committee of the research work carried out during a one-year period and that proposed for the following year. This report will be used by the committee to evaluate the doctoral student's progress and determine their continued participation in the program.

Doctoral students must submit an annual report on their research results on the LAUREA ACADEMIC platform, in the ACTIVITIES DOCUMENT section. At the end of July, the Program's Academic Committee

will evaluate this report. A favorable evaluation is an essential requirement for continuing in the program.

The activity consists of submitting the report (according to the attached template), which must be signed by the supervisor(s). Students will upload their report, with the results obtained during the past year and the work plan to be carried out during the following year, to LAUREA ACADEMIC, under this activity: PRESENTATION OF OWN RESULTS TO THE PROGRAM'S ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. This activity must always be carried out at the end of each academic year (between June 15 and July 15) in order to collect all the research activity carried out during the year.

• Exceptionally, students may complete this activity earlier if they are going to submit their doctoral thesis before the end of the academic year. In this case, they may attach a PDF of the thesis as proof of the activity, signed by their supervisors.
• For first-year doctoral students who have not yet obtained results from their research, this report may coincide with their Research Plan report, provided that it has been previously registered with Laurea.

Assessment report: The tutor will be responsible for validating in LAUREA ACADEMIC whether or not the activity has been passed. Students have the option of resubmitting their work during the submission period if they have failed the training activity. The report submitted by the student in LAUREA ACADEMIC will also be evaluated by the Program's Academic Committee together with the reports from the tutor and director(s) at the end of the academic year. The Program's Academic Committee will carry out the student's annual evaluation. In the event of a negative evaluation, a report will be issued with recommendations so that the student can make the appropriate corrections and will be re-evaluated within 6 months. To this end, the student will once again have access to this activity on LAUREA ACADEMIC, where they will post their report before the 6 months have elapsed.

• To be able to present and discuss research results.
• Be able to plan the experiments to be performed taking into account the results obtained so far and the current literature.
