In the first sitting the panel establishes the criteria and modality of candidate’s assessment according to the parameters set out by the ministerial decree of 25 May 2011, no. 243, as well as marks to be attributed to qualifications and publications.

Selection is carried out by a preliminary evaluation of the candidates with motivated analytic judgment on their qualifications, CV and on their scientific production, including their doctoral theses.

Following preliminary evaluation the comparatively more meritorious candidates, between 10 and 20 percent of the original number (and no less than 6 in number) are admitted for an interview on the basis of their qualifications and scientific position.  All candidates will be admitted for the interview if their total number is equal to or less than 6.

The lack of presence at the interview will be considered an explicit and definitive manifestation of the candidate’s voluntary wish to renounce taking part in the selection procedure.

During the interview on the candidates’ qualifications and publication there will be an oral examination to assess the candidates’ language levels as indicated in this document.

Candidates who are engaged abroad can be electronically interviewed after their identification at foreign universities or internationally recognized research centers. The Commission declares that the interview is correct and obtains a copy of the candidate's identity document.

Following the interview a marking system will be attributed to the qualifications and to each publication presented by the successful candidates.  For assessment of qualifications and publications the panel can ask for the aid of referees as established in the first meeting.

When the results of the selection procedure have been concluded, based on a comprehensive point system, the panel will set out a list of scores designating the winner or declaring the absence of any winners.

The panel will carry out a motivated assessment followed by a comparative evaluation, referring to the specific Admission Examination sector and to the profile defined via indication of one or more disciplinary-scientific sectors, C.V. and the following properly documented qualifications of the candidates:
a.)	PhD or equivalent, or , for the interested sectors, a certificate of medical specialization or equivalent awarded in Italy or abroad;

h.)	Speaker at national or international congresses or conventions;
i.)	National or international prizes or recognition for research;
j.)	European certificate of specialization recognized by international boards as stated in the Admission Examination Sector’s requirements;

Assessment of each qualification indicated by comma 1 is effected by considering specifically the significance the latter has in order of quality and quantity of the research activity carried out by the single candidate.

The panel will effect comparative assessment of the publications on the basis of the following criteria:

a.)	Originality, innovation, rigorous methodology and relevance  of each scientific publication;
b.)	Congruence of each publication with the Admission Examination Sector for which the selection procedure is effected and with any profile, defined exclusively via indication of one or more disciplinary-scientific sectors, or with interdisciplinary themes correlated to the latter;
c.)	Scientific relevance of editorial collocation of each publication and its circulation within the scientific community;
d.)	Analytic determination, also on the basis of recognized criteria in the referred international scientific community, of individual bearing of the candidate in case of participation in collaboration work;

The panel must also evaluate the consistent complexity of the candidate’s scientific production, the intensity and temporal continuity of the same (subject to periods  adequately documented of non-voluntary distancing from the research activity) with particular attention to parenting functions.

In the arena of the Admission Examination Sector wherein international standards are used for assessing publications, the following indicators are used (referring to the candidate deadline dates):
a.)	Total number of citations;
b.)	Average number of citations per publication;
c.)	Total impact factor
