Research
The University of Milan is a leading Italian university for investment in research infrastructure and human capital: two essential elements for tackling the complex challenges of knowledge in a rapidly changing social and industrial context.
As a public institution concerned with the development and progress of knowledge, the University has always been committed to research projects that influence the quality of life of citizens. Research at the University of Milan is mostly conducted in the departments and the many specialized structures, favoring the creation and growth of networks of collaboration locally, nationally, and internationally.
Scientific activity involves the whole academic community from professors, researchers, doctoral students, fellowship-holders, and fellows to undergraduates, in an ideal quest for new ideas.
Third Mission
In addition to its two key functions – scientific research and education – the University engages in Third Mission activities aimed at spreading culture, and knowledge and transferring research results outside the academic community, thus contributing to social and cultural growth.
The University intends to be an economic and cultural engine for the local area, fostering progress and innovation, and promoting dialogue and interaction with citizens, the economic system, and public and private institutions.
In the "knowledge society", we will leverage our multidisciplinary skills to create synergies and promote collaborations and exchanges both internally and externally.
