As part of the PhD Storytelling Lab initiative, Marco Giacomazzi, PhD graduate in Philosophy, Science, Cognition and Semiotics, explores how the skills needed to navigate the informational disorder of the digital age are changing, between cognitive sciences and cultural studies
The Alma Mater hopes that this humanitarian mission may proceed safely, achieve its goals, and stand as a tangible sign of hope and peace for the future
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs awards a distinction to the Association founded at the University of Bologna for its contribution to promoting Japanese culture in Italy
Eighteen university teams will gather at the University of Bologna to compete in chess. From Japan to the United States, from Uzbekistan to Europe, teams of young chess players will travel long distances not only to challenge one another, but also to get to know each other. Three intense days of competition will give participants the chance to build unforgettable memories and forge friendships that will last well beyond the tournament itself
A team of scholars at the University of Bologna has developed an artificial intelligence system that can automatically recognise archaeological sites. Using satellite images from the CORONA espionage programme of the 1960s, it has revealed four ancient human settlements that had previously gone unnoticed by archaeologists
The progress of the AVA3 self-assessment process, new procedures for graduation sessions, improvements to student services, and the new supplementary welfare agreement for staff are some of the topics addressed in the University Governing Bodies’ meetings in July
Fast, affordable and portable testing devices—just as reliable as molecular swabs and accessible to everyone: ECLIPSE, a European research project coordinated by the University of Bologna, is paving the way for new approaches to global health emergency prevention. The first results were presented at the R2B Exhibition
The deepest observations ever made of a galaxy cluster using low-frequency radio techniques have shed new light on the life cycle of radio galaxies, from their formation to their fading
A national initiative involving eight universities and research centres has been launched to promote Italian excellence in quantum technologies. The goal is to build a cohesive ecosystem, capable of competing internationally and aligned with the new Italian Strategy for Quantum Science and Technologies
An international research team has developed a tool that takes its cue from a series of genomic alterations to identify danger signals and the risk of developing the tumour among those with early, asymptomatic forms of the disease
A new zooarchaeogenetic study published in the journal PNAS reveals that overfishing caused by an extremely high number of tuna traps operating for centuries in the Mediterranean has left a genetic and demographic imprint on the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), one of the world’s most iconic and exploited marine species
