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.
The BARI section of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is responsible for promoting, coordinating and carrying out scientific research in the field of nuclear, subnuclear and astroparticle physics, as well as the technological development necessary for activities in these sectors.
The shared scientific-disciplinary areas across Degree Courses in Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Earth Sciences highlight their transversal nature, motivating the creation of a School of Sciences and Technologies to coordinate training and enhance interdisciplinary research.
The National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI) is a consortium funded under Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) in the framework of the European Union – NextGenerationEU. It was officially launched in January 2023 and will run for three years.
Its main goals are to team up Italian entities carrying out competitive and innovative research in the field of quantum science and technology (QST), and to stimulate future industrial innovation in this field, providing a forum in which novel ideas and opportunities are transferred to companies. Moreover, a significant fraction of the project resources is dedicated to support a comprehensive education program,to favour technology transfer to companies,and to implement a robust outreach program to make QST pervasive in the society.
