The video shows the use of artificial intelligence in various fields of study and research.

Where data meets meaning

Artificial intelligence as a tool, the human being as the measure.

The ethical core of innovation

Generative artificial intelligence achieves its highest value when the human being remains central to its use.

Accountability

Taking responsibility for the results produced and being able to explain them.

Honesty and transparency

Usage must be transparent and clearly acknowledged.

Accuracy

Prioritising precision and reliability as essential criteria.

Sustainable intelligence

Striking a balance between technological progress and environmental protection.

Human rights

Privacy, intellectual property, and inclusion as central values.

Informed oversight

Applying critical supervision to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of results.

Navigating the responsible use of AI

Policy

Generative artificial intelligence at the University of Bologna

The guidelines for the ethical and responsible use of GenAI in teaching and research have been published.

Until 14 March

For an ethical and responsible use of GenAI

Events dedicated to the university community to explore, understand, and responsibly apply AI.

AI innovation: from research to human-centred solutions

Some projects from the University of Bologna

Digital solutions for the sustainability of rural communities

By integrating AI, data, and digital tools to strengthen local capacities and innovation, the RURACTIVE project promotes the sustainable transition of rural areas.

Translating law into code with ai

The HyperModeLex project explores how to transform law into digital code while preserving legal, constitutional, and linguistic principles using AI, ontologies, and smart contracts.

Computational models for fracture risk from metastases

The METASTRA project aims to develop advanced computational models to assess fracture risk in vertebral metastases, improving personalized therapeutic decision-making and reducing misdiagnoses and costs.

Preventing failures in industrial machines with ai

R-PODID develops a system to reliably predict failures in industrial machines, enabling safe shutdowns and energy savings during downtime.

Highlights

Installation

New Mixage Up: an installation for the Zeri Library

Until 28 March, the Federico Zeri Foundation is hosting New Mixage Up, a large installation by Flavio Favelli. The exhibition, which is free to visit, is part of the ART CITY Bologna 2025 program on the occasion of Arte Fiera.

Ranking

GreenMetric Ranking for environmental sustainability

The University of Bologna enters the top 10 of the world's universities most committed to sustainability. This achievement is certified by the 2024 edition of the GreenMetric ranking, which has been evaluating universities' green actions and policies for fifteen years.

Photography

Trieste in the photos of the Wulz family

Until 27 April, the photography exhibition showcases over a century of the city’s history and the social advancement of women in the 20th century. This narrative unfolds through the photographs of the Wulz family, who managed the renowned Wulz photographic studio in Trieste for more than a century.

Exploring Possibilities

Continuing studies between passions and perspectives

From 25 to 26 February

Virtual Fair 2025

The annual online event to learn about degree programmes, meet people who are already studying at the university, get to know the university's facilities and services, and attend a real lecture.

Explore educational opportunities

We guide you in choosing the degree programme based on your profile, showing you the available options to identify which ones best match your interests.

Uncertain about what to choose? Talk to us

The Guidance Service staff will help you clarify your thoughts.

The people you can rely on during your studies

The best advice on how to organise your time and adopt an effective study method comes from those who have already completed or are about to complete the same programme as you.

PhD: pathways, tools, and opportunities

On 26 February at 10:30, join us online to discuss how to enhance your education and embark on a research journey. Th event will be held in Italian.

Voices, stories, ideas

Do you know Una Europa?

Researchers share their research projects, experiences, and expectations.

From research to society

Biomedical Sciences

Lactic acid bacteria and the fight against rare genetic diseases

The Telethon Foundation is funding a project by Alma Mater to study how to combat CDKL5 deficiency disorder, a severe rare neurodevelopmental condition, using lactic acid bacteria as factories for the production of therapeutic proteins.

Chemistry

How to turn a virus into an anti-cancer nanobioparticle

Even viruses can become our allies. A research team has genetically modified certain bacteriophages into new nanoparticles designed to eliminate specific cancer cells and tissues.

Astronomy

Beneath the surface of Io, there is no ocean of liquid magma

A new study based on data collected by NASA's Juno probe disproves the previously proposed hypothesis about the nature of Jupiter's moon, known for its intense volcanic activity.
