Logo CRC-Altre Scene

The CRC AltreScene investigates the international dimension of past and present theatre activities in Milan and develops an overall reflection on the cultural network in which this phenomenon was and is centred. Research issues in the field of International Humanities, and in particular Drama and Performance Studies, are thus connected to the of experimentation of pioneering advanced courses for postgraduate students and to various forms of public engagement in close collaboration with the main theatre houses and troupes in and outside Milan and Italy as well as with foreign cultural institutes and academic institutions.

The translation, circulation, and scenic transformation of non-Italian repertoire on Milan’s scenes, the contribution of foreign and/or multicultural artists and creatives to the local activities, as well as the international, "global" life of scenic experiences and practices which have arisen in Milan are exemplary case studies, both in historical perspective and with regard to contemporary constellations. Mapping and investigating these phenomena and putting them at the core of educational projects and social engagement can be of primary interest to the recognizing of the fundamental mediation role that Milan has been playing on a local and on a global scale, and to the broadening of a necessarily interdisciplinary, multilingual and transcultural approach to contemporary drama, theatre and performance as a way of creating, integrating and fostering social dynamics and proactive communities.

The centre is an incubator and accelerator for the development of innovative technological solutions to overcome the main challenges still remaining in the creation of organoids.

Organoids are the most innovative methods available to medical research for studying various mechanisms outside the body:

  • disease mechanisms
  • response to drugs including side-effects
  • interactions between different cell components, such as those of tumours and the immune system.

Although organoids now occupy a central position in biomedicine, making their use accessible on a large scale in order to exploit their full potential still poses technological challenges.

The centre aims to consolidate and expand the network of scholars of Byzantium and its literary, historiographic, linguistic and artistic manifestations.

It can link scholars of topics related to Byzantium in the broadest sense, such as:

  • the forerunners of Byzantine literary and artistic culture in ancient Greece and Imperial/late ancient Rome
  • links between the Byzantine East and the medieval Latin and romance West
  • the heritage of Byzantium in the history of western European culture since Humanism.

Based at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences L. Sacco of the University of Milan, the Research Center on Vascular Diseases was formed following an agreement between the Universities of Verona, Bologna and Milan. 

The Interuniversity Center was founded in 2017 as an extension of the previous Research Center on Vascular Diseases, which was launched in 1992 to aggregate and promote research and networking on Vascular Diseases and Angiology / Vascular Medicine at the national, European and international level.

The Research Center on Vascular Diseases hosts the Presidency of the VAS-European Independent Foundation in Angiology / Vascular Medicine, and AmaVas, the Italian no-profit association gathering patients, citizens, researchers and clinicians on a national level.

The European Working Group on Medical Angiology (EWGA), which was launched in 1991 with an official event in the great hall of the University of Milan, established its headquarters at the Center in 1992. It later became a non-profit association (VAS-Vascular-Independent Research and Education-European Organization, 1998) and a no-profit scientific foundation (VAS European Independent Foundation in Angiology / Vascular Medicine, 2018).

EWGA, VAS and AmaVas were founded by Prof. Mariella Catalano, who teaches at the University of Milan and leads the Center.

The Center’s clinical research activity has also been linked to the Angiology Unit of the L. Sacco Hospital since its start.

Contact persons for the syndicated Universities (Angiology): for Milan Prof. Catalano, for Verona Dr. De Marchi, for Bologna Prof. Cosmi.

The centre conducts and promotes study, research, conferences and publications on the figure of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi and more generally on Italian eighteenth century vocal and instrumental music.

Its institutional aims include:

  • to promote research on the life and work of Pergolesi, the Neapolitan cultural and musical context and Italian eighteenth century music

  • to collect (originals, copies, electronic formats), catalogue and check the authenticity of documentary, musical, literary and iconographic sources regarding the composer

  • to provide documentary and scientific support for the National Edition of the Works of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, instituted in 2009 by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities

  • to promote conferences, study groups, seminars and scientific publications; to collaborate with research centres and institutions that organise conferences and exhibitions and with theatre and concert organisations that plan the preparation and public performance of the works of Pergolesi.

The permanent function of the centre is to gather information and provide guidance for society.

It has two lines of activity:

  • analysis of the national situation

  • analysis of the international situation.

La medicina di precisione si propone di sartorializzare l’approccio al paziente prescrivendo il farmaco più adeguato per garantire la migliore risposta minimizzando la possibilità di esperire effetti collaterali. Pertanto l’acquisizione di dati rappresentativi della popolazione generale (big data) e la loro elaborazione (statistica convenzionale & machine learning) porta al riconoscimento di gruppi di pazienti (clusters) con caratteristiche cliniche, demografiche, sociali e biologiche capaci di prevedere la risposta ad un dato farmaco già al baseline

La costituzione in UNIMI del primo centro di medicina di precisione dedicato all’infiammazione cronica  mira ad ottimizzare le risorse per svolgere una ricerca di frontiera e traslazionale che possa portare le scoperte scientifiche direttamente ed in modo pragmatico nella pratica clinica, in linea con i principi di One health e del PNRR.

Il CRC rappresenta lo strumento attraverso il quale coordinare e sviluppare i percorsi di ricerca sui temi oggetto di attività delle cliniche legali.
Le Cliniche legali sono attività didattiche imperniate sulla metodologia del learning by doing e si caratterizzano per il fatto di operare sul territorio mettendo a disposizione risorse e competenze negli ambiti oggetto di interesse. Costituiscono uno strumento prezioso per individuare e tematizzare questioni di rilevanza ed attualità sul terreno della sostenibilità e dell’accesso ed efficienza della giustizia.

Genders was founded in 1995 as one of the first Italian academic centres dedicated to Gender Studies.

It proposes to:

  • Consolidate under Horizon 2020 research activities previously carried out under FP7, as well as enhance its international profile and its leading role in research on equal opportunities in Italy.

  • Promote a multidisciplinary approach to research, the mainstreaming of gender and the gendering of the disciplines.

The Centre aims to consolidate collaboration between literary studies and geography, opening it up to foreign scholars and institutions outside the University.

The intersection between the two disciplines is critically important to the interdisciplinary and intertextual fabric of contemporary culture, though the two disciplines are deeply linked and have been in dialogue with each other since Antiquity. If geography acknowledges the inescapable presence within itself of a subjective and imaginative element, literature cannot fail to recognize the crucial role of geography in textual, poetic and narrative production.

The meeting point between the two disciplines is located in the multiple modes of perception and representation of space, the primary dimension of our experience. Equally important is its imaginative role. The intersections between the materiality and the metaphorical representation of natural environments also highlight its archetypal quality. Islands, rivers, seas, forests, mountains, deserts are not only physical and geographical entities, but also cultural structures and mental constructs.

Gesdimont aims to test and promote methodological innovation and operations specific to the complex characteristics and needs of mountainous areas identified in the course of research, and the transfer of technologies strategic for the socio-economic development of such areas.

The Centre coordinates interdisciplinary research aiming to understand the most important features of the link between reading and the formation of the person: ‘I read, therefore I am’ expresses a tradition and a cultural reality whose significance contemporary society would seem to underestimate.

The centre aims to further develop an extant network of relations with other reading studies centres, at home and abroad.

The Centre aims to bring together different research groups around the precious anti-Babel literary device that is heteroglossia, understood as the use of an alternative to one's own mother tongue, a language that is the language of another culture.

The phenomenon enjoyed its golden age in eighteenth century Europe, when there was greater linguistic and cultural unity than at any other time in history.

Immuno-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases (MICI; in English, IBD), Crohn's disease (MC) and ulcerative colitis (CU), rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthopathies, lupus erythematosus (LES), uveitis, iridocyclitis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, etc. are a group of poorly understood pathological conditions, which are characterized by common inflammatory pathways determining the inflammation itself and are the result of alterations of normal immune responses and their regulation.

Although their aetiology is unknown, IMIDs are understood as resulting from a complex interaction between environmental, genetic, immune, inflammatory and microbial factors. The Centre has as its main objective the study of these interactions. The aim is to advance a multidisciplinary approach to the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms as a basis for the development and improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic models.

Coordinator

The Centre acts as proponent and interlocutor for the development of national and international collaborative networks to promote multicentred studies that will allow:

These groups provide a wealth of fundamental and applied research skills in the different areas covered by disciplines important to the understanding of natural and man-made environments.

La ricerca sul pensiero antico della Statale è caratterizzata da una forte e assai proficua relazione tra storiografia filosofica, filologia classica e studio della letteratura greco-latina. La crescente specializzazione degli studi classici ha reso sempre più importante la cooperazione tra ricercatori con competenze differenti, anche se fortemente interconnesse.

Il Centro di Studi mira non solo a istituzionalizzare i rapporti scientifici già in essere, ma ad ampliare le aree di competenza, con particolare riferimento ad Aristotele, la tradizione aristotelica e la filosofia latina. Come anche l’ultimo QS Ranking mostra, gli studi classici e filosofici del nostro Ateneo godono di buona reputazione internazionale: il Centro si propone di promuoverla ulteriormente attraverso nuove edizioni critiche, pubblicazioni, convegni, e il consolidamento di network con centri e gruppi di ricerca analoghi, nazionali e internazionali. Il Centro si propone inoltre di organizzare iniziative didattiche di alta specializzazione per studenti del nostro e di altri Atenei, come una Summer School di Filologia Filosofica a Palazzo Feltrinelli, e laboratori di filologia filosofica, da svolgersi anche presso la Biblioteca Ambrosiana. Il Centro rappresenta il quadro di riferimento per alcune delle attività dei visiting professors invitati dai Dipartimenti di afferenza dei componenti.

The Coordinating Research Centre for "Justice Studies" draws upon the contributions of the Departments of Private Law and History of Law, and of Italian and Supranational Public Law, as well as the "Cesare Beccaria" Legal Sciences Department, to promote studies and research on justice in a historical, economic, philosophical and sociological perspective.

The Centre's research activities, with a focus on critical analysis of legislation, tenets and national and international jurisprudence, are also conducted in collaboration with public and private institutions and with national and international scientific associations.

The Centre has its own series published by Giuffrè and promotes anti-discrimination law meetings, held annually at the University, that are accredited by the Milan Bar Association and valid for the purposes of legal professional training.

The Centre aims to integrate, coordinate and promote access to information relating to the study of stem cells and their potential applications.

In addition, the centre promotes research on the biology of stem cells and on their possible applications in the medical, pharmacological, toxicological and veterinary fields.

As a result, in 2006, the University of Milan deemed it appropriate and timely to establish an Interdepartmental Centre. This provides a framework in which to bring together the different intellectual resources, ambitions and educational programs extant across the University.

Since it is a virtual centre, the main objectives are intense outreach activity at the specialist level, but also at the regional level, involving the general public, high schools and those actors that operate in the health sector who, though interested in the subject, do not operate directly in the field of stem cells.
