Abstract

Rocco De Nicola has played a key role in establishing two international PhD schools in computer science in Italy, one at IMT Lucca and the other at the GSSI in L’Aquila. This short article describes some of the principles that have guided the establishment of the doctoral programmes at those institutions and the lessons the authors have learnt by working with Rocco De Nicola at the GSSI.
