UNIVERSITY OF MILAN – UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO Short description of the University with particular reference to the thematic areas promoted by “Science without Border” “BUILDING THE FUTURE IS OUR TRADITION” The University of Milan is a research-intensive university, offering high quality teaching at all levels in a broad spectrum of fields. Over the years, it has succeeded in maintaining a skillful blend of tradition and innovation, adjusting to the requirements of a fastgrowing society without putting aside its distinctive traits. The University of Milan is the top Italian university in most international rankings and is the only Italian university among the 21 prestigious institutions that belong to the League of European Research Universities (LERU). The University’s interdisciplinary vocation and the connections between a wide range of fields create a highly stimulating environment for study and work in its 31 Departments, 134 study programmes, 31 doctoral programmes and several vocationally-oriented courses. STUDYING IN MILAN, THE ITALIAN HEART OF INNOVATION. The University of Milan – that counts almost 63,000 students regularly enrolled and is therefore the largest in Lombardy – is an important point of cultural, artistic and scientific reference for the city: every year it plays host, amongst other things, to more than 300 events that are attended by tens of thousands of people. Studying at the University of Milan and living in this city is an exciting experience.

Located in the north of Italy, the city is just a few hours away from Venice, Florence, the most famous Italian lakes, the Alps, the Ligurian Sea and all the major European cities. One of the top international institutions in terms of scientific productivity, the University’s wide range of educational and research competencies and its relationships with the business world also make it an important resource for its socio-economic context. Milan is, in fact, the capital of Lombardy, one of the most dynamic and “international” areas in the European Union; it is also the leading city in Italy for investments in technological research and innovation. The system in which the University of Milan operates has no equal in terms of the level and importance of its scientific initiatives; it comprises a further 11 universities and a large number of research institutes, many of them of international standing and reputation.
