DIGI-B-WELL: a European project to promote the digital well-being of SMEs, public institutions and academia was launched at the kick-off meeting in Rijeka (Croatia). Nine partners, including the University of Bologna, join forces to create a sustainable and future-oriented working environment
Research involving the University of Bologna, found that graphene has properties that can control and modulate the activities of astrocytes, a type of brain cell. The work, published in Nature Nanotechnology, has the potential to have positive implications for the study of brain diseases such as epilepsy and stroke
The University of Bologna has approved the document designed to align its research evaluation practices with the principles outlined in the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment
The University of Bologna is offering 145 doctoral scholarships in a wide range of fields, including artificial intelligence, sustainable energy, inequality reduction, health, education and training, digitisation, preservation of cultural heritage and Industry 4.0: an opportunity to learn how to conduct original and independent research in close contact with major companies
Aluminum alloys produced through additive manufacturing, new carbon fiber-based structures, renewable solutions for solar-powered cars, and the reuse of exhausted vegetable oils in the automotive industry. These are some of the themes that University of Bologna researchers will focus on as part of the PNRR initiative on "Innovative Materials & Lightweighting" from the National Centre for Sustainable Mobility
An Italian research team has discovered for the first time that some species of marine polychaete worms in the Ross Sea are able to withstand Antarctic temperatures thanks to specific antifreeze proteins produced by symbiotic microorganisms living in their tissues
The aim of R-PODID, a new research project coordinated by the University of Bologna and implemented within the Chips Joint Undertaking is to innovate fault prediction technologies and thereby lead the way to a future in which electric drives and power devices can operate with greater efficiency, reliability and safety
Following the successes of previous years, the catamaran Futura will once again take center stage at the international Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, which focuses on innovation and sustainability. This year, the boat features a new electric outboard motor with counter-rotating propellers, marking another leap in energy efficiency
Betty Vuk in judo, Giuditta Carlini in taekwondo, the women's volleyball team, and the women's basketball team all took the top spot on the podium. But also, Ayoub Sadid won bronze in taekwondo, the men's basketball team placed fourth, and Daniele Gasparri secured ninth place in judo
The plant, which originated in South America and which has now disappeared from our country, arrived in Italy at the end of the 16th Century, decades earlier than previously thought: a discovery made possible thanks to the heritage of Renaissance herbaria kept by the University of Bologna
A study led by scientists at the University of Bologna has uncovered new insights into how the brain regulates automatic imitation - a behaviour that underlies many complex social interactions. The findings could lead to therapeutic applications for patients with neurological impairments and social dysfunction
Faculty and technical administrative staff embarked on an institutional visit to the St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences in Ifakara, a Tanzanian city that has become a research hub focused on healthcare. The visit aimed to strengthen relationships, exchange programmes, and collaborate on the launch of a new professional master's programme in Medicine and Surgery, fostering international cooperation
Digitisation, artificial intelligence, green revolution: these were the focal points of the international training week titled “Old and New Challenges for Librarians,” organised by the University of Bologna. The event brought together twenty-eight librarians from as many universities across nineteen countries
A research group at the University of Bologna has demonstrated that when we move our arms, very similar neural states are activated in three areas of the posterior parietal cortex, but with different results with respect to the accuracy of the movement target decoding process. The results could be useful for the development of prostheses in direct communication with the brain
The study, conducted by cross-referencing data from 19 scientific studies, involving over 20,000 individuals, shows an efficacy rate of over 50% in reducing disease cases, with lasting effects and a high safety profile
Fifteen species of elasmobranchs are in danger of extinction. To support their conservation in the Mediterranean, the EU is funding the LIFE PROMETHEUS project with 4.3 million euros, involving twenty-one partners, including the University of Bologna
