Colloquio
Two interviews each had 2-3 different economists from different teams. Interview lasted 1-2 hours each, Questions ranged from behavioral to technical (mostly econometrics and data related). I had a couple of research projects I worked on in undergrad and they asked quite a bit about them and my future interests.

Very relaxed - be yourself and convey your enthusiasm for the role. You don't need to be certain on a PhD and you should not force yourself to say you are if you are not. Be open to analytical roles and all projects and that answer will reveal itself.
