You can find an overview of the history and characteristics of the University in the sections University and Department. They include, respectively, general information on the University and its research activities in the Computer Science and Telecommunications sectors.The Leisure page contains the extracurricular activities offered by the University – such as Facoltiadi and the University Sports Center – and by the Trentino, a region blessed with a natural beauty internationally recognised. This Doctoral School was inaugurated with the aim to establish solid links with the business world, and to create a context of technological transfer based on highly specialised human resources, up-to-date laboratories and joint research groups. In particular, the School activity is based on the collaborative network with the other research partners presented in this region.
