Our Research
From fundamental mathematics to its most advanced applications, such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Imaging Science and Quantum Computing.
We carry out our research within an international network of collaborations with universities, Research Centres and scientific institutions in Italy and abroad.
The scientific community is actively involved in the ongoing organisation of conferences, workshops and summer schools – opportunities for exchange that foster the growth of knowledge, the emergence of new ideas and the development of interdisciplinary and international collaborations.
The computational and applied research activity is supported by a scientific computing and visualisation centre.
The Department participates in numerous research projects funded by national and international bodies, including the European Union, the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), the National Research Council (CNR), the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the International Centre for Scientific Computing (ICSC).
Within the University of Bologna, it also contributes to the activities of the interdepartmenal centres Alma Human AI, Alma Climate and ARCES, and promotes the Alma Mater Centre for Applied Mathematics (AM)², thereby strengthening its role in the development of interdisciplinary research and scientific innovation.

Research Projects
Projects are the means by which we contribute to innovation, make the most of our competencies and resources, and take part in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations.
PhD programmes
A PhD degree is the highest level of university education and provides the skills required to carry out high-level research activities.
Departmental and Interdepartmental Research Centres
Interdepartmental Centres carry out research and training activities. They bring together laboratories, infrastructure and research groups from different departments, which collaborate to tackle historical and emerging social challenges.
Scientific publications
The department’s faculty is ighly productive in terms of both the quantity and quality of their scientific output.
