The Department of Informatics brings together and reinterprets in a modern key all the experiences and skills developed over a long path of evolution that has led it. Founded in 1969, as the first university research and training center of computer science in Italy, then called the Institute of Information Sciences, it has continued to be one of the main university research centers in Italy for theoretical and applied computer science, also including the interdisciplinary research, and computational mathematics, in Numerical Analysis and Operations Research.<\/p>\n

Its internationally recognized researchers work within research groups<\/a> and collaborate in departmental laboratories<\/a>, at the forefront in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Bio, Medical, Health-Informatics, Computational Mathematics, Computer Science Foundations, Algorithms, Programming Languages, Computational Models, Next Generation Digital Systems and Cybersecurity. These activities are reflected in a substantial body of scientific production<\/a>, and participation in numerous national and international research projects<\/a>, often within a multidisciplinary context.<\/p>\n

The Department is also very active in technology transfer<\/a> and boasts numerous collaborations both with public and private institutions in the region and with companies at national and international level. It also offers a wide range of scientific and cultural outreach services.<\/p>\n

The research activity of the Department is closely connected to both the organization and the periodic updatings of the contents of the Master’s Degree Programmes<\/a>, in which Researchers serve as both teachers and tutors. It is also central to the promotion and development of\u00a0training in advanced IT topics, as part of the PhD Programme in Computer Science<\/a>, of PhD Programme in Data Science<\/a> and of the National PhD Programme in Artificial Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Annual reports<\/h4>\n

Until 2023, an annual report was drawn up each year.
\nStarting in 2024, these reports are included in the annual monitoring reports of the departmental strategic plan.<\/p>\n
