Support scientific research
We recognise the fundamental role of research, guarantee its full freedom and promote its development through the use of public and private funding, within a national and international framework of reference.
Supporting research means investing in the future of society.
Unipd was ranked the leading university in Italy for the quality of its research as certified by the reports of the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR), placing Padua in the excellence bracket.
The presence of a wide range of disciplines and fields of knowledge creates the ideal setting for carrying out frontier research, capable of harnessing the high level of specialised knowledge and expertise developed within the departments, suited to addressing a complex reality through the integration of different research areas.
This year Science4All, the Science Festival of the University of Padua, scheduled from 25 to 27 September, brings with it something new: the opportunity to purchase the Festival’s official T-shirt from the UNIPD Store. A simple gesture that supports research: for every T-shirt purchased, 1 euro will be allocated to research on climate change.
