At the University of Padova the past is not merely a distant memory, but a constant source
of inspiration: our glorious past is the source not only of our traditions but of our motivation
and our determination to innovate. Here in Padova, we continue that same tradition of free-
dom in scientific experimentation which brought here the most distinguished scholars and
students of Europe and which led to some of the most important discoveries ever made in
the fields of medicine and astronomy – discoveries which fully justify Padova’s reputation as
the “nursery of arts”.
The research and studies carried out here in Padova still make major contributions to the
cultural growth and scientific progress of our times, and symbolise the unbroken tradition of
dedication to knowledge that links those scholars who came before us with those of future
generations. Investments in the field of teaching and research have established Padova in
the top ranks of the national scale for teaching quality and scientific research: this has made
Padova a hub for foreign scholars and students, who can attend international programmes
in many disciplines.
At the University of Padova, research, teaching and learning are closely related and, in a
way, are different means to the same end. That end is to be protagonists in the life of our
community, and ambassadors of our most fundamental values: passionate search for truth
and freedom, to cultivate understanding and to compare experiences beyond all barriers
and differences, without distinctions and without prejudices.

the university
The University of Padova is one of Europe’s oldest and most
prestigious seats of learning: it is a multidisciplinary university
which aims to provide its students with both professional
training and a solid cultural background. A qualification from
the University of Padova is a symbol of having achieved an
ambitious objective, one that is recognised and coveted by
both students and employers alike.
The University was established in 1222 after a group of
students and teachers decided to come here from Bologna.
They set up a free body of scholars, divided by place of origin
into nationes, in which students approved statutes, elected
the rettore (rector, or chancellor) and chose their teachers,
who were paid with money the students collected. Defending
freedom of thought in study and teaching became a distinctive
feature which today lives on in the University motto: Universa
UniversisPatavinaLibertas. The introduction of empirical and
experimental methods together with the teaching of theory
marked the dawn of a golden age. In the 16th and 17th
centuries, Padova became a workshop of ideas and home
to figures who changed the cultural and scientific history
of humanity. They included Andreas Vesalius, who founded
modern anatomy, as well as Copernicus, and Galileo, who
observed the skies here. Padova also vaunts the world’s first
university botanical garden and permanent anatomy theatre,
which was built by Girolamo Fabrici d’Acquapendente.
William Harvey, who was the first to describe the circulation
of the blood, studied in Padova, and in 1678 Elena Lucrezia
Cornaro Piscopia was the first woman in the world to be
awarded a university degree.
The fall of the Serenissima Republic of Venice marked the
beginning of a dark age. Padova fell under the rule of first
the French and then the Austrians, passing through Italy’s
tumultuous Risorgimento, which also shook the University.
Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the University
expanded to include the Faculties of Engineering, Pharmacy,
and Political Sciences, together with its traditional Faculties
of Law, Medical School, Arts and Philosophy, and Sciences.
deFending Freedom oF thought became a distinctive Feature which today lives on in the university motto: Universa Universis Patavina Libertas.

The advent of Fascism curtailed the University’s values of
free thought and cultural independence. Its professors swore
allegiance to the regime, after which the approval of Italy’s
racial laws and the expulsion of Jewish professors opened
one of the darkest periods in the University’s history. Rector
Concetto Marchesi woke the University from its slumber and,
at the height of the Nazi occupation, made a courageous
appeal to the students to fight for the freedom of Italy. For
its sacrifices in the name of Freedom, the University of
Padova was awarded a gold medal for military valour, the
only university to receive one.
During the post-war period, the University opened Faculties of
Education, Agricultural Sciences and Psychology, and, in the
1990s, Faculties of Veterinary Medicine, and Economics and
Business Administration. In the 20th century, the University
of Padova produced great literati such as Diego Valeri and
Concetto Marchesi; engineers like Giuseppe Colombo, the
“master of celestial mechanics”; mathematicians such as
Tullio Levi Civita; the jurists Alfredo Rocco and Livio Paladin;
the philosophers Luigi Stefanini and Enrico Opocher;
and doctors like Vincenzo Gallucci, who carried out the

with some important discoveries, particularly in medicine,
biomedicine, engineering and aerospace technology.
the city
Near the verdant Euganean Hills to the south and criss-
crossed by waterways, Padova is a city which blends
historical tradition and culture with burgeoning business and
service industries. Its central position makes it perfect for
reaching Venice and its beach resorts, the Dolomites, Lake
Garda and the spa resorts of Abano and Montegrotto Terme.
Almost 500,000 tourists visit Padova each year to marvel
at its art and fine heritage of architecture and museums.
Its squares, porticoes and old cobbled streets tell the story
of a wealthy, beautiful Medieval town that was renowned for
its art and culture.
Over the last few years, the city’s economy has expanded
and its trade, logistics, infrastructure and large-scale
distribution have grown together with its already well-
developed network of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Padova is at the heart of North-East Italy – the powerhouse
behind one of Europe’s largest economic and industrial
areas, with more than 7 million inhabitants and 600,000
companies.

international relations at the university of padova If scientists were able to analyse the genome of a university,
they would be able to trace the gene of internationalisation of
the University of Padova back to 40 distinguished students
of past centuries.
Indeed, a hall next to today’s Great Hall in Palazzo Bo is
dedicated to 40 ‘greats’ from all over Europe, portrayed
on the walls surrounding a podium from which Galileo
once taught to a wide European audience. Here are the
portraits of authoritative scholars like William Harvey, who
discovered the circulation of the blood; curious figures like
Oliver Goldsmith, a wandering Irish poet and writer of the
18th century; severe men like Francis Walsingham, famous
statesman in the service of Queen Elizabeth I and founder of
the government’s secret services; and courageous men like
Michel de L’Hospital, collaborator of Catherine de Medicis,
Queen of France, and champion of religious tolerance.
Another scholar, Stefan Batory from Hungary, became
Prince of Transylvania in 1571 and later King of Poland. The
40 portraits in this hall are emblematic of the University of
Padova and of its long-standing traditions in the field of
internationalisation.
Nowadays the University of Padova “promotes the furthering
of culture founded on universal values such as human
rights, peace, respect for the environment and international
solidarity” (Article 1 of its Statutes, 1995). The international
dimension of the University is not only witnessed by many
spontaneous activities, such as the countless research
cooperation projects individually promoted by teachers
and researchers and the teaching now offered to as many
as 1,500 regularly enrolled foreign students, but also by the
existence of several bilateral agreements of ‘traditional’ type,
extensive participation in European programmes for research
and education, cooperation with developing countries, and –
last, but not least – by committed participation in the project
activities of the Coimbra Group (the network of historical
European universities) as well as other excellence networks.

bilateral agreementsInternationalisation has always been an important priority
for the University of Padova. With more than 100 bilateral
agreements, the University has established long-standing
relationships with Higher Education Institutions all over the
world, not only in Europe but also in Africa, North and South
America, Asia and the Middle East, aimed at encouraging
international exchanges of teaching and administrative
staff as well as students at all degree levels. These bilateral
agreements reflect various forms of cooperation, which also
include activities such as joint publications and exchange of
information, to improve academic cooperation.
the llp programmelifelong learning programme
erasmus mobility
The University of Padova has always been very active within
the framework of the Erasmus programme and its participation
goes back to the origins of the programme in 1987, when the
first agreements for student exchange (Erasmus-ICPs) were
established. Today, Padova has 1311 bilateral agreements
with more than 500 European universities in 33 countries.
The ‘Erasmus Padova’ Association was acknowledged as
the best in Europe at the Annual General Meeting of the
Erasmus Associations held in Budapest in 2011. The mobility
of students covers all partner universities; Spain, France and
Germany remained the most frequently visited countries in
the last academic year. Most erasmus students come from
Medical Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering, Technology
and Languages.

other initiatives
Besides Erasmus Mundus, the University of Padova
encourages other initiatives aimed at joint or double
degrees and guarantees adhocscholarships for students
participating in these programmes. Some examples are the
double degree programmes in Philology at the University
of Stendhal Grenoble 3, European Studies at the University
of Krakow, Philosophy at the University of Jena, Molecular
Biology at the French Universities of Paris V and Paris VII, and
Business and Management at the Manchester Metropolitan
University. Among double degree programmes, an example
of excellence is TIME – Top Industrial Managers for Europe, a
network of 55 leading Engineering Schools and Faculties and
Technical Universities which, through a system of voluntary
bilateral agreements between its members, offers promotion
and recognition of academic excellence and relevance to the
international labour market in the form of double degrees in
engineering and related fields. Through these activities, TIME
promotes high-quality engineering education and produces
graduates who are able to work trans-nationally and in trans-
cultural environments. Until now, the University of Padova
has signed double degree agreements within the framework
of the TIME network with the following institutions:

eu programmes: some examples
The University of Padova also participates in several
European programmes supported by the European
Commission.
emQt - erasmus mobility Quality tools
One success is the EMQT project, an Erasmus Structural
Network whose general aim is to identify organisational
models, good practice, and benchmarking procedures
and related indicators, which should characterise the
quality of students’ exchange mobility. On this basis, the
project aims at defining an MQTB-Mobility Quality Tool
Box and at developing guidelines for various ‘Quality
patterns or profiles’, where a given institution can position
itself, and for mechanisms of accountability and external
validation.

tempus programme
Padova is also active within the framework of the TEMPUS
programme, and participates in the following projects:
RUCAS - Reorient University Curricula to Address
Sustainability
Launched in October 2010, the project has a three-year
duration. The main goal of RUCAS is to contribute to
‘Education Sustainable Development’ in higher education in
developing countries (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon) with the help
of developed countries (France, Ireland, Italy, Sweden).
PhD Education in Energy Efficient Electrotechnologies
at Russian Universities
The project aims at developing new PhD curricula
and corresponding teaching materials, implementing
new teaching plans, updating laboratories in Russian
partner universities, offering training for young teachers
in Russia, and promoting PhD students' mobility. The
project involves the following institutions: University
of Hannover, Novosibirsk State Technical University,
St Petersburg State Electrotechnical University, Samara State
University, Siberian Federal University, Silesian University of
Technology, University of Latvia, University of Padova.
Other TEMPUS projects in which the University of Padova is
involved are the following:
TUNING RUSSIA (coordinated by the University of
Deusto; see also “Tuning projects”)
SUFAREL – Qualification framework for sustainable
forestry and lifelong learning (coordinated by University
of Helsinki)
LMPSM – Licence-Master professionnels en
psychologie sociale pour intervenir auprès des
publics migrants en Russie, Ukraine et au Kazakhstan
(coordinated by University of Iasi)
cooperation with developing countrieserasmus mundus – action 2
Attention to developing countries has risen considerably
thanks to Erasmus Mundus Action 2 (former External
Cooperation Window), the European Commission
programme designed to foster institutional cooperation in
the field of higher education between the European Union
and developing countries, through a mobility scheme
addressing student and academic exchanges for studying,
teaching, training and research.
Participating countries are grouped together in geographical
areas called lots. Each project is coordinated by a European
still growing 37
enjoying the world
University and offers scholarships for the targeted mobilities
from and to that geographical area.
Until now, the University of Padova has been involved in
12 successful projects and is currently coordinating two of
them (ARTESS and BAPE). These projects have enabled the
University of Padova to expand its network of international
relationships to Asia and Latin America.

resultsThe first-ever report issued by the Italian Research
Assessment Committee ranked the University of Padova as
highest among leading Italian universities for the quality of
its research results.
Twenty panels of evaluators, 25% of whom come from
foreign institutions, analysed the scientific articles,
monographs, patents, works and publications presented
by 77 universities, 12 public bodies and 13 private research
institutes from all over Italy, before awarding the University
of Padova a vote of excellence in 12 out of the 20 disciplines
and scientific areas covered. According to the number of
citations of articles and publications by its researchers
(source: ISI), the University of Padova ranks among the top
three Italian universities for:

fundingTrue to its traditions, the University of Padova considers
research fundamental and continues to invest as much
of its resources as possible in research activities. In the last
year, funds allocated amounted to € 81,748,000. Of these,
€ 31,100,000 come directly from the University’s budget,
€ 10,228,000 in equal proportions from the Italian Government
and the Veneto Region, and € 8,173,000 from the European
Union. More than 39% of the total budget for research comes
from other public and private organisations, i.e., € 12,261,000
from income deriving from research, consulting and training
activities, and € 19,986,000 from research agreements.
strategic projects The University of Padova has been one of the few universities
in Italy to have launched a ‘strategic projects’ scheme
(in 2008), financed with € 10 million. The purpose of this
scheme is to consolidate and sustain scientific activities of
excellence at the University, supporting projects designed
to serve as reference centres for research work in Italy and
abroad. Sixty-nine projects were proposed and 10 were
selected, one related to the social sciences and humanities,
five to mathematics and the physical sciences, information
and communications, engineering, and earth sciences, and
three to life sciences; one is interdisciplinary and spans all
three fields of research.
internationalresearch projectsInternational research at the University of Padova has
achieved great successes over the last few years, particularly
within respect to European funding.
The University of Padova manages more than 150 European
research projects. Most of them (130) are funded within
7th Framework Programme, the most important European
research programme. Almost all departments are involved
and the European contribution is estimated at around € 32
million. In addition to FP7 projects, the University of Padova

gold yields a new anti-carcinogen A new family of chemotherapeutic drugs has
been identified, with greater anti-carcinogenic
activity and lower toxicity than drugs in current
use. Some gold compounds used in research
have revealed in vitro anti-carcinogenic activity
up to 100,000 times stronger than that of
presently used medications, and are capable
of reducing the resistance and insensitivity of
cells to chemotherapeutic agents.
a method For avoiding hyperacute rejection A test to identify the antigen alpha-gal, responsible for hyperacute rejection reactions in animal soft tissues, has become available for the first time. In future, a new technique will allow the antigen to be eliminated from several types of animal tissues, thus making them suitable for use in humans. This may lead, for instance, to the
preparation of truly 'tailored' cardiac valves.
saving venice with seawater In future, Venice could be safeguarded by injecting
seawater under the lagoon, at a depth of 600-800 m.
Working in synergy with 'MOSE', the mobile barrier system
which will defend the Lagoon of Venice from floodwaters,
seawater injections would immediately reduce the
phenomenon of 'high water' in the city and provide further
protection against risks related to rising sea levels due to
global warming.
how an earthquake works According to new research
findings, the heat generated
deep inside the Earth by
interactions between tectonic
plates is capable of melting
rock or triggering chemical
reactions which have a globally
lubrifying effect on large faults.
These observations also shed
new light on the extraordinary
displacements and dimensions of
the Sendai/Tohoku earthquake.
rosetta probe meets asteroid lutetia
On July 10 2010, the European Rosetta probe
flew over the asteroid Lutetia on its way to the
comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, taking
a series of high-definition photographs with
the novel OSIRIS imaging system. This was
a very important fly-by, partly because, to
date, Lutetia is also the largest asteroid to
have been visited by a probe from Earth.
even Fish know how to count It appears that even fish
can distinguish between
two quantities of objects
or signs in much the same
way as human beings.
These findings suggest
that the foundations for the
sophisticated mathematical
abilities developed by
humans may go back a very
long way indeed - even to
a time before animal life
diverged into fish and land-
dwelling vertebrates, an
event which took place more
than 400 million years ago.
the essence oF photosynthesis is artiFicially reproducedFor at least two billion years, Nature has used water and sunlight to produce the energy needed to drive
chlorophyll photosynthesis. Researchers have finally isolated a synthetic catalyst capable of functioning when
activated by light in an aqueous environment, exploiting ruthenium atoms on a surface consisting of carbon
nanotubes. This discovery marks a major turning point in research on systems capable of implementing
artificial photosynthesis, with a view to the production of hydrogen.
quantum physics and nanotechnology splendid, or Surface PLasmonics for Enhanced Nano Detectors and
Innovative Devices, will exploit plasmons (phenomena in quantum
physics) to achieve new types of extremely sensitive sensors, capable of
recording the presence of even just a few molecules of a given substance.
This may have a particularly important influence on industrial design in
the future, especially in the field of biomedical and foodstuff analyses.
Flint Fragments give new date to earliest settlements in northern europe
The study of 32 fragments of hand-
carved flint found in Suffolk has placed
the date of the first human settlements
in northern Europe two hundred thou-
sand years earlier than previously belie-
ved. The research involved fifteen of the
world’s top geologists, palaeontologists
and anthropologists. The results clearly
call for a re-think of the history of early
human settlements in Europe.

researchers at the university oF padova are involved in thousands oF studies every year, some oF which have particularly attracted the attention oF the general public.
a step Forward in epilepsy prevention and treatment Today, approximately 3% of the world's
population suffer from epilepsy, and a
significant proportion fail to respond to
drugs currently in use. For the first time,
research has now identified astrocytes –
cells distributed in a mosaic which physically
anchor neurons and guarantee their blood
supply – as one of the cofactors triggering
the disorder, thus providing a new target for
the development of innovative therapies.
viruses and dna: secrets oF the inFection process revealed A new model of the spatial organisation of
DNA in viruses has been proposed, which
explains how DNA is packaged and solves the
enigma of topological 'plugs'. Applications
in the biomedical field are of great potential
interest and include the possibility of greatly
delaying infection processes, rendering them
ineffectual.
high alcohol consumption and cell ageing All the cells in our body are equipped with a true
biological clock, represented by telomeres, which are
sequences of DNA occurring in the terminal regions of
the chromosomes which become shorter as we grow
older. Research has revealed the effects of excessive
alcohol consumption on this telomere shortening
process, with various related risks to our health, from
a higher incidence of cancers to early ageing.
lhc: a new window into the inexhaustible wealth oF natureEssential progress in our understanding of the Universe is in sight, thanks to the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC), the particle accelerator at CERN near Geneva. Physicists use the LHC to study the smallest known
particles, the fundamental building blocks of all things. It can revolutionise our knowledge of nature, from
the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the whole Universe. Physicists from the University
of Padova and the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics are deeply involved in this extraordinary challenge.
a more eFFective method For producing polymersA new method has been devised for
producing polymers by reactivating
catalysts using electrical energy.
Advantages are that fewer residues
are left in the polymer compound,
and the amount of catalyst needed
is drastically reduced, with greater
savings and less pollution.
a luxury roman home emerges From spa resortExcavations by researchers from Padova in an area of more than 13,000 sq.m. on the Via Neroniana in
Montegrotto Terme (part of the spa resort a few miles outside the city), has brought to light the remains
of a very large and beautifully decorated home dating from the early 1st century AD.
the abruzzo earthquake: engineers From padova save art treasures Engineers from the University of Padova were in the forefront in coping with the emergency after
the earthquake in L’Aquila in 2009. They have been operating on two fronts: first documenting
details of all the historical and artistic buildings damaged by the quake and assessing the
damage, and then taking action to make the buildings safe.
bringing a star to earth In the frame of the European Thermonuclear
Fusion programme, physicists and engineers of the
University are working, together with CNR, ENEA
and INFN, on an ambitious goal: producing energy
from the processes which power our Sun and all the
other stars. In the CNR Research Area, just outside
Padova, 130 scientists and technicians, and about
30 students at various levels, are carrying out
experiments on hot plasmas, at temperatures of
up to 15 million degrees, in support to the ITER
international project.
early results oF herschel and planck missions
The Herschel Space Observatory
and Planck satellites were placed
in orbit by the European Space
Agency during a spectacular joint
launch in 2009. Planck takes
measurements of unprecedented
accuracy of the cosmic microwave
background radiation permeating
the Universe, a remnant of the Big
Bang. The Herschel Observatory
is the first 4-metre telescope to be
sent into space and will observe the
remoter parts of the Universe in the
infrared part of the electromagnetic
spectrum.

Master universitario 2° livello
2nd level short specialisation degree
These courses lead to an out-of-mainstream university
qualification and can be accessed after a 2nd cycle degree
course, single cycle degree course or comparable foreign
degree. They consist in quite advanced scientific courses
or studies in life-long learning programmes, last at least one
year, and involve the acquisition of at least 60 credits.
This degree-course is therefore clearly different from the
usual master degree, which – not only in English-speaking
countries but also in the whole area of the Bologna Process
– corresponds to the Italian laureamagistrale.
