Research
Research projects, activities and opportunitiesFor us, research is a fundamental element for social and economic development, contributing to progress, wellbeing and social cohesion.
This is why the University of Verona supports quality interdisciplinary research, international collaborations and the sharing of results to benefit our society, culture and economy.
Departments and research
The University of Verona stands out for its commitment to cutting-edge scientific research, both basic and applied, across a wide range of disciplines.
Research is organized into four major areas, each consisting of departments focused on specific fields. Specifically, the University offers:
- 3 departments in Humanities
- 3 departments in Law and Economics
- 4 departments in Life and Health Sciences
- 3 departments in Natural Sciences and Engineering (with one shared with the Life Sciences area)

Nutrient recovery from agricultural digestate by integrated ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis: effect of pretreatment strategies from laboratory to demonstrative scale
Agricultural digestate is a nutrient-rich by-product of anaerobic digestion whose sustainable management is increasingly constrained by environmental regulations and emerging criteria for mineral fertilizers, such as “REcovered Nitrogen from manURE” (RENURE). This study systematically investigates the influence of different pretreatment strategies, namely coagulation, polymeric flocculation, acidification and moderate heating, on an integrated pressure-driven membrane treatment train based on ul...
Fractured Spheres, Entangled Worlds: Reimagining the Anglosphere in the Age of Permacrisis
The essay approaches the Anglosphere as a contested discursive formation, whose unity has been sustained by imperial imaginaries and ideological narratives of civilizational continuity. The metaphor rests on historical abstractions obscuring internal differentiation and uneven entanglements, which becomes especially visible in the condition of permacrisis, with its chronic convergence of environmental, political and technological instabilities resistant to teleological resolution. We refle...
Conifers exhibit a characteristic inactivation of auxin to maintain tissue homeostasis
Dynamic regulation of the concentration of the natural auxin (IAA) is essential to coordinate most of the physiological and developmental processes and responses to environmental changes. Oxidation of IAA is a major pathway to control auxin concentrations in angiosperms and, along with IAA conjugation, to respond to perturbation of IAA homeostasis. However, these regulatory mechanisms remain poorly investigated in conifers. To reduce this knowledge gap, we investigated the different contribution...
Contemporary Crises in the Anglosphere: Fragmentation and Relationality in 21st Century Narratives
This special issue explores how contemporary Anglophone fiction engages with the multiple and overlapping crises that characterize the twenty-first century, from environmental degradation and technological disruption to social fragmentation, political instability, and pervasive uncertainty. Framed by the notion of permacrisis, the collection examines how literary narratives represent a world marked by interconnected vulnerabilities while simultaneously imagining new forms of relationality, resil...
Non-cell autonomous and spatiotemporal signalling from a tissue organizer orchestrates root vascular development
During plant development, a precise balance of cytokinin is crucial for correct growth and patterning, but it remains unclear how this is achieved across different cell types and in the context of a growing organ. Here we show that in the root apical meristem, the TMO5/LHW complex increases active cytokinin levels via two cooperatively acting enzymes. By profiling the transcriptomic changes of increased cytokinin at single-cell level, we further show that this effect is counteracted by a tissue-...

Networking e InternazionalizzazioneL'ateneo promuove la presenza di ricercatori e docenti internazionali per attività di didattica e di ricerca attraverso specifici finanziamenti per la mobilità in ingresso degli ospiti internazionali.
Un Visiting Professor è un docente o ricercatore di alto livello proveniente da un'istituzione straniera, invitato per un periodo limitato a svolgere attività accademiche.
Annualmente vengono pubblicati i bandi "Visiting" ricompresi all'interno del Programma di internazionalizzazione di ateneo che finanziano soggiorni di ricerca e/o di didattica a Verona, oltre che l'attribuzione di interi insegnamenti a docenti internazionali. Inoltre, i Dipartimenti dispongono di appositi finanziamenti, finalizzati ad accrescere la dimensione internazionale della didattica all'interno dei Corsi di studio, anche attraverso la partecipazione di docenti provenienti da atenei europei ed extra-europei.
