Given its geopolitical position, Trieste has always been a cultural crossroad and the University of Trieste carries on this tradition by promoting internationalisation through research, education as well as student and teacher mobility. Worldwide partnerships with about 120 universities testify to the university’s global networking research activities.
The large number of scientific centres located in the Trieste area, such as the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, the ISAS (International School for Advanced Studies), the Scientific and Technological Research Area, the Italian Synchrotron light laboratory “Elettra”, the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, and the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics, not only contribute to making Trieste “The Town of Science”, but also benefit from the activity of university researchers and the university itself, whose main vocation, in turn, is the transmission of knowledge.
