Today, the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy agency announced the results of their annual ranking of universities by subject.

The results confirm that Padua is the best university in Italy for students interested in building a professional future in these areas. Similarly, UniPD is among the top 100 universities in the world for Automation & Control (range 51-75), Telecommunication Engineering (range 76-100) and Medical Technology (range 76-100) areas.

The University of Padua Joint Degree Delegate and International Ranking, Mara Thiene comments: "This result once again confirms the positive path taken by our University that has placed us in an excellent position not only in Italy but also internationally.  We are particularly proud of the confirmation in the disciplines of water resource management, a topic directly related to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6 and one that has assumed a top priority across a geopolitical climate in recent years. The prolonged drought of the last semester demonstrates the need to daily manage our water resources and accelerate innovation processes in agriculture and industry. "
