How to Monitor (Complete Workflow)#

SECTION A: JOBS#

Navigate to /it/cerca-selezioni (or filtered URLs above) and extract job postings from the page. Each posting follows this pattern in the accessibility tree:

text

- article:
    - text: Data pubblicazione bando DD.MM.YYYY
    - text: ID Bando: NNN/YYYY
    - heading "Title" [ref=eXX] [level=3]:
      - link "Title" [ref=eXX]: - /url: "/it/assegni-di-ricerca-e-selezioni-incarichi-esterni/..."
    - text: Termine presentazione domanda DD.MM.YYYY

Extract: publication date, ID, title, application deadline, and permalink.

SECTION B: COURSES / EDUCATION — DEADLINES#

Bachelor/Master Admission (from /it/entrare-al-sant-anna)

text

- heading "Bando del Concorso di Ammissione YYYY/YYYY"
- "Termine iscrizione domanda Concorso I livello:" -> DD month YYYY, ore HH:MM
- "Termine iscrizione domanda Concorso II livello:" -> DD month YYYY, ore HH:MM

PhD Call (from /it/formazione/bando-phd)

text

- heading "Bando PhD YYYY/YYYY"
- "XX posizioni" (number of funded positions)
- General deadline: "DD month YYYY, ore HH:MM"
- PhD Economics deadline: "DD month YYYY, ore HH:MM" (earlier than general)
- PDF call link available on page
- Online application portal: https://sssup.esse3.cineca.it/Home.do

Seasonal School (from /it/formazione/seasonal-school)

The page has ~36 courses displayed in a multi-column card layout. Scroll down 3-4 times to capture all courses before extracting.

For each course card, extract:

• Course name (h3 heading)
• Course page link: /it/seasonalschool/course-name
• Course dates (paragraph, e.g. "March 23rd - 27th, 2026")

Previous program archives are available: 24-25, 23-24, 22-23, 21-22

For application deadlines: navigate /it/formazione/come-accedere-seasonal-school

• Winter courses: deadlines typically ~2 months before
• Spring courses: deadlines ~1-2 months before
• Summer courses: deadlines ~1 month before

University Masters (from /it/master-i-livello and /it/master-ii-livello)

Each Master has its own page with title, application deadline, and PDF call link.

7. /it/master-i-livello — 1st level Master programs
8. /it/master-ii-livello — 2nd level Master programs

URL Construction#

Relative links (e.g. /it/...) should be prefixed with https://www.santannapisa.it to form full URLs.

Notes and Pitfalls#

• The website is Drupal-based with server-side rendering — no JavaScript execution needed for content
• Cookie banner present on most pages — ignore it
• PhD call URL changes yearly but /it/formazione/bando-phd always points to the current one
• Bachelor/Master admission PDF URLs change annually
• Always compare with previous check to detect new postings or changes
• Individual pages for future Seasonal School courses (April-July) may not be published yet — check periodically
