University services include 48 libraries, 19 museums, and the Sapienza Sport Center (find out more here). The main campus, where the conference will be held, is a real city within the city located in the heart of Rome. The campus also houses the technology transfer office, which plays a valuable role in the protection and commercialization of intellectual property developed by Sapienza researchers.
Scientific research activities at Sapienza cover an extremely broad spectrum of disciplines, reaching levels of excellence in many areas, including archaeology, physics and astrophysics, humanities and cultural heritage, the environment, nanotechnologies, cell and gene therapy, design, aerospace, social and economic sciences.
Sapienza brings together a strong interdisciplinary team, as well as infrastructures, committed to the enhancement of research results in agricultural sciences. Infrastructures include i) the Smart PHYTOTRON for simulations of global change environmental conditions to analyze and monitor in real time the morpho-functional effects of biotic and abiotic stress on natural and crop plant species; ii) the NMLab, an integrated system of NMR spectroscopy-based equipment and knowhow entirely dedicated to metabolomic analysis; iii) METROFOOD, a research infrastructure in the “health & food” field, consisting of the best research centers of 18 European countries. Research projects in the agri-food sector range from protection of marginal areas to circular economy, reduction of waste and environmental impacts, passing through safety, traceability and typicality of supply chains. Research groups carry out their activities jointly with numerous national and international companies as well as research institutions.
Sapienza is committed to pursuing outreach through two different paths: technology transfer and innovation on the one hand, which is responsible for the creation of several startups and spinoffs, and the production of public goods and public engagement on the other, with the aim of generating social, cultural and economic impact on society and the territory.
