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
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
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

Seven European partners - including universities and research centres - will collaborate to develop low-energy digital systems through reversible computing
Successfully tested in animal models, a new-generation drug has achieved complete disease regression in models of neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as colon cancer. The key lies in antibody–drug conjugates, which can recognise tumour cells and target them with a chemotherapy molecule designed to act selectively
Designed, built and tested by a research group at the University of Bologna, it is the only nanomotor in the world able to reverse its direction of rotation simply by changing the colour of the light source that powers it
