Founded in 1978, SISSA Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati of Trieste, Italy, is a leading institute for research and postgraduate training on the national and international stage. It is one of the six schools of excellence in Italy.
The aim of the School is to promote the development of scientific research and intellectual culture, all the while preparing young graduate students for advanced research, both pure and applied. The School was initially active in the so-called “hard sciences”, before expanding its range of activities to comprise new fields such as Neuroscience, Structural-Functional Genomics, Data Science and Science Communication. Research and training activities are grouped within three main areas: Physics, Mathematics and Neuroscience.
Besides its traditional pillars (Higher education and Research), in the recent years SISSA has been constantly working to promote new activities and initiatives focused on fostering the societal and economic development of the local Territory, the so called Third Mission to promote innovation and knowledge transfer.
