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.

Acknowledgments
We have all worked with Rocco De Nicola in the establishment of the PhD school in computer science at the GSSI and thank him for his guidance, and inspirational and friendly leadership. Luca Aceto was one of the first two students who graduated under Rocco De Nicola’s supervision and still greatly appreciates his advice on all matters. Omar Inverso and Catia Trubiani thank Rocco De Nicola for joint research work and joint supervision of doctoral students.
