The National Plan for Science degrees (PLS)

Launched by MIUR, the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, the National Plan for Science Degrees (PLS) has the aim of stimulating students' interest in science, and offers refresher courses for teachers. It also favours interaction between the University and businesses to facilitate student entry into the high-tech job world.

The Plan stems from an agreement between MIUR,  Italian universities, Regional School Authorities, associations and businesses.
