Research Structures
The university research structure is organized into Research Groups, Nuclei, Laboratories and Centres, which are affiliated to one or more university units. The seven Research Institutes are independent university units and are responsible for a broad interdisciplinary approach to specific topics, such as environment, bioethics, gerontology and biomedical research.
