Research, innovation and society Research units

Research units

Research units may be set up within the Department or between different Departments, in order to enhance specific disciplinary or interdisciplinary skills, or to coordinate the drafting and management of research, transfer and innovation projects. They are established, based on the proposal of the professors and researchers concerned, by resolution of the Department Council and have no managerial autonomy.

The DiSIA has established the following research units to date:

• Laboratory of Statistics and Computer Science - DiSIA-Lab research Unit.
• Population and Society Research Unit - UPS, established by resolution of the Department Council in December 2020. The aim of UPS is to share and disseminate the expertise developed by the DiSIA's researchers in the socio-demographic field. UPS collaborates with national and international research institutes and universities.
• Interdepartmental Laboratory of Technology and Analysis of Plant Preparations of Pharmaceutical, Food and Cosmetic Interest - PhytoLab. The other Department involved is Neuroscience, Psychology, Children's Medicine and Healthcare (NEUROFARBA).
