Highlights

Rector Giovanni Molari Attends the Inauguration of the New Italian-Azerbaijani University Campus
The ceremony was held in the presence of the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev. This marks a new phase in the collaboration between the University of Bologna and ADA University, which has already led to the establishment of three bachelor’s degree programmes and one master’s degree programme in the fields of agricultural and food sciences.
Giovanni Domenico Cassini and the birth of the world’s longest sundial, in Bologna
The great astronomer, born 400 years ago, designed and built it inside the Basilica of San Petronio: officially to confirm the accuracy of the Gregorian calendar, but in reality, to seek answers to questions that, in the Papal States of 1655, were best left unspoken.
From research to society
An Ingenious Water Management System in the Ancient Roman City of Thuburbo Maius, Tunisia
It was discovered inside one of the most important — and until now least studied — houses of the archaeological site: the House of Nicentius. The find was made by an Italian-Tunisian mission involving the University of Bologna, the National Heritage Institute of Tunisia, and the University of Manouba.
APACHE: a New Generation of Robotic Automatic Machines
The new joint project between the University of Bologna and IMA aims to design innovative technological systems for packaging, also driven by artificial intelligence technologies, capable of carrying out highly complex manipulation, gripping, and control tasks, with two key requirements: flexibility and autonomy.
There is a direct link between diet and vaginal microbiota health
A study involving over one hundred young women found that a high intake of animal proteins or alcohol is associated with an imbalance in the vaginal microenvironment. By contrast, a diet rich in fibre, starch, plant proteins, and omega-3 fatty acids supports a more stable and resilient microbiota. These findings open up new perspectives for preventing vaginal disorders, particularly in women prone to recurrence or during sensitive stages of life, such as pregnancy.
