We promote interdisciplinary and international research, with a strong focus on innovation and technology transfer
More than eight centuries of history and future
Our tradition in scientific research spans many centuries, but our past is not so much a memory as a constant motivation and determination that drives us to innovate, year after year. We host numerous centres of excellence and develop innovative projects in the medical, technological, environmental and humanities fields. We invest constantly in state-of-the-art infrastructure and laboratories. Researchers, as well as doctoral students, collaborate with international institutions, contributing to fundamental multidisciplinary discoveries.
In the catalogue, you can find who our most experienced people are, their areas of expertise and publications, the facilities, local outreach initiatives, and technology transfer.
We are part of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment - CoARA, a consortium of organisations committed to reforming the methods and processes for assessing research, as well as research staff and bodies. By joining CoARA, the university has committed itself to promoting the 10 commitments of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment through a multi-year action plan and participation in international Working Groups.
Our research is of outstanding quality, with a centuries-old tradition that today translates into multidisciplinary dynamism and a strong focus on social and productive impact. ANVUR has placed us in band A, the highest, a result never before achieved by any large university

Excellent research is not the privilege of a few, but a collective good, a driver of sustainable, cultural and human development. Today, more than ever, it is our duty to defend it, support it and enhance it
Research stems from the curiosity to understand and generate knowledge. We ask ourselves what lies behind the mechanisms by which a disease develops and how our body works, and we still have many unanswered questions. But by doing research we can understand many things that can then lead us to hypothesise and develop new treatments. In this way, our research ends up having an impact on society
There is an illuminating phrase, uttered by Graeme Wood, which says: “Change has never been this fast and will never again be this slow”. The wave is high and moving; we need to be part of it. And we are. Also thanks to the constant support that the University has shown for research activities in quantum science and technology, support that is allowing and will allow colleagues at our University to take part in the second quantum revolution. On the front line.
