The University of Trento is different from other universities. It was founded about 50 years ago, on the basis of a scientific and organizational project which was unprecedented in the history of Italy. From its very beginning, it has always been protective towards its academic freedom and it has always been engaged in the development of the local community which hosts and supports the University itself. Throughout the years it has increasingly widened its research and training fields, thus including new disciplines and it has continuously pursued high quality research and teaching activities. The University has remained small in size, since it has always aimed at training learned men and women capable to think critically, rather than simply training professionals. Over a few decades it has been able to conquer the highest positions in the Italian university rankings and it is now gearing up, with accuracy and passion, to systematically play a high-level, well-deserved role at European and international level.
