Abstract	The doctorate in Italy is a new institution. In this paper we present the results of an investigation that attempts to assess the experience from three main points of view: 1) the didactic structure of the courses 2) their scientific output and 3) the employment of Ph.Ds. From the survey, the didactic structure of the courses appeared weak, i.e. they were based on occasional activities... The scientific productivity of Ph.Ds seems promising. Only an extremely low percentage of Ph.Ds work in industrial R&D, a fact explained by the small amount of original R&D carried out by Italian firms. We found, however, a significant degree of co-operation between industry and university at doctorate level. Obstacles have also been encountered by Ph. Ds in obtaining jobs in the University or in public research institutes, not only because of the scarcity of job openings, but also because of the absence of the social convention whereby in most countries the doctorate is regarded as the normally necessary background for these careers.
