A new invisible marking technology aims to make plastic recycling more efficient and competitive. ELISET, a European project worth €2.36 million, is bringing to market a solution developed from research initiated at the University of Bologna and later advanced through the spin-off Sinbiosys
A major international study involving more than 7,500 participants across 34 countries shows that people with greater resources are more likely to invest in local mitigation measures and less likely to support broader action to cut emissions—pushing a global solution further out of reach
Rewilding is an environmental management approach that seeks to minimise human intervention as much as possible, allowing natural processes to unfold freely. Examples of this strategy are becoming increasingly common, particularly in Northern Europe, although more or less unintentional cases can also be found in Italy
Two examples from the University of Bologna’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, which today includes 62 accredited companies spanning spin-offs and student startups
From the archives of the museums of Carthage and the Bardo, a remarkable collection of painted plasters has resurfaced, whose refinement rivals the celebrated examples of Pompeii
Produced by five PhD students from the University of Bologna’s International PhD College, the podcast examines artificial intelligence from multiple perspectives and reflects on its role in politics, science and everyday life
A study of thirty teeth recovered from the archaeological site in the province of Salerno has reconstructed childhood growth patterns, identified early-life stress events, and traced the dietary habits of ancient inhabitants, revealing the consumption of fermented foods such as bread, wine, and beer
The University of Bologna renews its commitment to combating discrimination and gender-based violence by promoting a series of initiatives aimed at raising awareness and engaging both the university community and the wider public

An opportunity to explore the University of Bologna’s doctoral programmes and the opportunities they offer, in a context that is increasingly international and closely linked to industry
The University of Bologna deep-tech spin-off is set to validate a technology in space that is recognised as a strategic priority for Europe
A dual event hosted at the University of Bologna’s Centro de Altos Estudios (Centre for Advanced Studies) has led to the establishment of a new branch of the REFAT network, which incorporates researchers from Argentina and other Latin American countries, joining the existing groups in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Brazil
A study by the University of Bologna gives voice to 17 Italian Paralympic athletes: media coverage still tends to emphasise disability over sporting performance, often relying on heroic or pity-based stereotypes
Coordinated by the Department of Interpretation and Translation and selected as a success story among EU-funded Horizon initiatives, this research project has led to the development of solutions designed to enhance the linguistic and cultural skills of children with a migrant background
Thanks to the synergy between chemistry and aerospace engineering, the compact analytical device is ready for the first microgravity experiments with astronaut Sophie Adenot
An investigation into the gut microbiome of asylum seekers reveals clear signs of stress, dysbiosis, and the loss of sensitive, beneficial microbial taxa. These indicators suggest potential adverse effects on the refugees' health
