Michelangelo Merlin Interuniversity Department of Physics
The Michelangelo Merlin Interuniversity Department of Physics of the Aldo Moro University and the Polytechnic of Bari (DIF) promotes research activities in the field of basic and applied physics, conducted through qualified international collaborations. These peculiarities have contributed to the growth of the Puglia Region, a nationally recognized development center for advanced technologies in many sectors like mechatronics, aerospace and environmental and biomedical sensors.
The DIF is also the only interuniversity department of Physics in Italy, maintaining that cultural unity which has always been a strong point of the department. In 2023 it was appointed Department of Excellence 2023-2027 due to the excellent quality of scientific research and didactic design demonstrated.
The department brings together a vast community of researchers who operate in a cohesive, coordinated and synergistic way, engaged in basic, applied and multidisciplinary research activities, in training and higher education and third mission activities.
ReCAS
ReCAS is a joint calculus centre created by our University and INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare). One of its most important projects is Bc2S (Bari Computing Centre for Science) which is a huge support to the current most important international projects (as LHC and ALICE).
The computing power acquired with the ReCaS project, which is added to that already available in Bc2S, consists of 128 servers each equipped with 64 cores and 256 GB of RAM, for a total of more than 8000 cores and 3500 TB of disk space.

It aims to be a reference of excellence in innovation, strategic management of real estate and the relationship between territories and companies.
With its wealth of experience, it intends to contribute, at national level and in close collaboration with the University of Bari, to the development of the Science and Technology Parks model.

Cordiality and friendliness will win you over from breakfast with a rich buffet, always different and homemade desserts, served in a bright room and in a relaxing atmosphere.
Historical Centre of Bari
The main attractions of the city are concentrated in its ancient village, Bari Vecchia. Even today, the ancient village retains its medieval appearance, with stone buildings, chianche on the ground and small commercial activities. What makes Bari Vecchia so special is the set of smells, sounds and colors that characterize it. In just a few steps you will find yourself breathing in the scent of fried panzerotti or laundry hanging out to dry in the sun, you will hear the cries of children playing in the street or the silence of residential tranquillity. Walking in Bari Vecchia is a 360-degree experience, it is what is defined as immersion in the local culture. There is no better place than this to understand the Bari roots, the soul of the people and what has made Bari what it is today.
Factory Pub
Factory Pub blends creativity and authenticity, serving fresh, inventive food far from mass production. It’s the only spot in Bari for real Tex-Mex vibes — and during SIPE, it hosts Drink & Derive, a beer-fueled team quiz night on differential calculus. For the occasion, a special surprise menu will be crafted just for us!
