RESEARCH
       The University of Parma boasts top-level scientific
       research: outstanding results of research teams,
       articles on the main international scientific journals
       and a number of successful partnerships with other
       important universities are just some examples of such
       high quality.
       Our research teams excel in a number of fields: from
       food and agriculture to biotechnologies, from innovative
       treatment to experimental medicine, not to mention
       law, economics and arts.
       Among the greatest discoveries of our researchers, we must
       not forget the “mirror neurons” in the field of Neurosciences
       and the studies in Information Engineering concerning
       Intelligent Transportation Systems, which have led to the
       creation of Intelligent Vehicles. In 2015, Vislab was acquired
       by the Silicon Valley Company Ambarella, leader for the
       development of video compression and image processing
       systems. Vislab is located in the University Campus.
       The University Campus also features a leading TechnoPole
       for industrial research, which includes cutting-edge
