Lecce PhD scholarships: what is confirmed?

Verified funding, without misleading dates

For its inaugural XL doctoral research cycle, the academy announced four ministry-funded awards across the arts and design research area: two in Design and Innovation for the Environment and Person and two in Cultural Heritage and Contemporary Arts. This was a 2024 launch allocation, not a standing annual quota. The academy subsequently issued a separate XLI cycle competition in 2025 and a final ranking of scholarship winners in February 2026.
