After earning the degree, the email address @unitn.it will be active for 180 days. In case the PhD enters into a contract or starts collaborating with UniTrento, the “ex-staff email address” will be not valid anymore, and the user will be given the email address in the form @unitn.it again.

 

Google Apps

Also doctoral candidates are provided with all the Google Apps available on the Google Workspace platform.

You can easily access the Google Applications by using the Google Workspace widget available on MyUnitn.
