International projects

European and international research is a strategic dimension for the University of  Florence and one of the priorities in the internationalization process.

The University has progressively been affirmed in the field of European and International research especially during the last decade, reaching the top of the ranking of Italian universities for the amount of funding obtained and the number of publications and of research grants.

The Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering carries out an important research activity, also on international basis and it is present with several UNIFI active projects financed by the EU.
