Since 2017, our University has participated in the MUR initiative "Departments of Excellence", now in its second edition.
At national level, the fund rewards the best 180 Italian university departments, taking into account the maximum number that can be allocated to each of the 14 CUN scientific areas.
The 11 selected departments of Alma Mater have received funding of 88.3 million euros for a five-year period from 2023 to 2027.
Each funded department has developed a project based on four different types of intervention (staff recruitment, infrastructure, rewarding and highly qualified teaching activities) with the aim of excellence in research quality and scientific, organisational and teaching design, as well as with reference to the research goals of ‘Industry 4.0’.
