The Department of Physics at the University of Pisa is an international center for scientific research and advanced education. Covered fields include the <\/span><\/span>Physics of Fundamental Interactions<\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span><\/span>Physics of Matter<\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span><\/span>Theoretical Physics<\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span><\/span>Astrophysics<\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span><\/span>Applied Physics<\/span><\/span><\/a>, with highly interdisciplinary research carried out in Nanotechnologies, Medical Physics, and in the Physics of the Universe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department takes part in many international research projects at the frontier of Science, and collaborates tightly with the <\/span>Pisa Division of the National Institute for Nucler Physics<\/a>, and with several Institutes of <\/span>National Research Council<\/a>. A relevant partnership subsists with the <\/span>European Gravitational Observatory<\/a>, whose gravitational wave detector <\/span>VIRGO<\/a> strongly involves our Department.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Physics is the focus of a unique eco-system for higher education, in which we develop programmes jointly with researchers and professors of INFN, CNR, the <\/span><\/span>Scuola<\/span> Normale<\/span> Superiore<\/span><\/span><\/a> and the<\/span> <\/span>Scuola<\/span> Superiore Sant\u2019Anna<\/span><\/span><\/a> in Pisa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

External funds for research, raised in recent years, amount to several tens MEuros. We also collaborate with the <\/span><\/span>Italian Institute of Technology<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and with industry at national and international level, through technology transfer projects carried out with companies in various fields (e.g. new materials, quantum technologies, aerospace).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current National Research Quality Assessment (VQR-ANVUR), <\/span><\/span>our Department is the highest in ranking among other Physics departments in its size quartile<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B<\/span>road and intense <\/span>t<\/span>eaching activities are performed for about 1000 undergraduate students<\/span>,<\/span> and <\/span>60 PhD students and postgraduate students specializing in Medical Physics<\/span>, all interacting with current frontier research<\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
