Only 180 seconds to explain a research project in English with only one slide: this will be the challenge between 14 PhD students of the University of Bologna. The winner will have the possibility to be selected to participate in the international final scheduled for next June
A research group at the University of Bologna has developed an anti-cancer phage, i.e. a virus that is harmless to humans, genetically engineered and chemically modified to selectively eliminate cancer cells only. The targeted, non-invasive treatment is activated by light
A research group of the University of Bologna analysed the spatial distribution of water resources depletion in connection with proximity to large urban areas and defined a model that might prove fundamental to mitigate the impact of urbanization on the ecosystem
The University continues in its effort to promote Open Science by making its role official within the European environment for storing, managing, analysing and re-using research data
The device was developed by a research team led by scientists at the University of Bologna. It is fast, effective, reliable, and low-cost: it could prove useful in the clinical field and for the development of new vaccines against COVID-19
The three-day March event dedicated to international degree programmes taught in English is on its way. This event follows the Virtual Fair attended by more than 1600 students from over 100 countries interested in discovering the world of our university

According to the first-ever global estimate, there are approximately 73,000 tree species corresponding to 14% more tree species than those currently known. Approximately a third of the unknown species are supposedly rare thus underlining the great richness of ecosystems and their great vulnerability to human-induced changes
A research group from the University of Bologna discovered the first causal evidence of the double dissociation between what we see and what we believe we see: these two different mechanisms derive from the frequency and amplitude of alpha oscillations
Two new applications developed at the University of Bologna will be presented at Dubai Expo. Using deep-learning techniques, they allow 3D mapping of real environments with only one camera
A study on mice carried out by researchers at the University of Bologna reveals that such exposure alters glucocorticoid receptors (stress hormones) in the hippocampus and significantly reduces sleep between the rest and active phases
In the 2021 edition of the worldwide raking evaluating universities’ actions and policies for environmental sustainability, the University of Bologna reaches one of the top positions worldwide and confirms its first place in Italy
The infant, dubbed ‘Neve’, found in a cave in the Liguria region, Italy, lived around 10,000 years ago, was between 40 and 50 days old when she died and her grave goods included pendants and beads. The discovery offers insight into the social structure and funeral practices of hunter-gatherers in the early Mesolithic
We hope that Patrick will soon be able to put these two distressing years behind him and resume his studies here in Bologna, at his University. This is where he belongs, to our community with his fellow students and professors who cannot wait to have him back
"Today we rejoice greatly for Patrick and his loved ones. Yet we will continue to fight and make our voices heard until we can welcome Patrick back in Bologna"
Found at least seven specimens of Tethyshadros insularis including Bruno, the largest and best-preserved dinosaur ever found in Italy. These specimens are 80 million years old, they are larger than previously thought and lived on the shores of an ancient ocean within a unique ecosystem
