It is therefore a young department, with a teaching staff of an average age of forty. In terms of teaching and research, it is organized in a multi-campus structure with three operating sites: Cesena, Bologna and Ravenna. c e s e n a DEPARTMENT OF EXCELLENCE: Siteweb: da-labs.it FB: Dipartimento di Architettura - Università di Bologna With its new constitution, the Department of Architec- teaching staff exchanges as well as cooperative agree- ture redefined its educational offer in light of the changes ments with universities worldwide, and also participates currently taking place, as well as the complexity of design in projects and initiatives funded by the EU and diverse and construction processes: it offers courses in the cities international activities and research. of Bologna (Single Cycle Degree/Combined Bachelor and In 2018 the Department of Architecture was selected Master Degree in Building Engineering and Architecture; by the Ministry of Education, University and Research First Cycle Degree/Bachelor in Industrial Design; Second among the 180 “Departments of Excellence” of Italian Cycle Degree/Two years Master Degree in Advanced De- Universities.

  • VITERBO DECLARATION on Safeguarding Functional Beech Forest Ecosystems
    VITERBO DECLARATION On safeguarding functional beech forest ecosystems Agreed by the participants of the 11th International Beech Symposium of the IUFRO Group 1.01.07 “Ecology and Silviculture of Beech” to “Natural and Managed Beech Forests as Reference Ecosystems for the Sustainable Management of Forest Resources and the Conservation of Biodiversity” held in University of Tuscia in Viterbo (Italy), September 18th-21st, 2018 80 scientists from European Union, Switzerland, Turkey, Iran, Japan, Canada and USA presented the findings of their recent research broadly on the following topics: Beech Biology, Beech Response to Environmental Factors, Beech Forest Structure and Dynamics, Beech Forest Management, Biodiversity and its Conservation in Beech Forest. Main Conclusions 1) State of research After more than a century of research beech forests belong to the most intensively studied ecosystems of the World. The widespread presence of Fagus forests across the nemoral deciduous forest regions of the Northern Hemisphere makes them ideal references for studying forest dynamics and developing new models of sustainable management. There exists a body of good knowledge on the complex structure and dynamics of beech forest ecosystems. Paleo-ecological studies and scientific monitoring have revealed evidence of ongoing changes emerging in the face of natural and human-induced disturbances and corresponding uncertainties about the resistance and resilience of beech forests. The impacts of climate change and human activities are being assessed in various contexts. 2) Importance of old-growth beech forests Because the scientific knowledge of forest ecosystem complexity and dynamics is an essential baseline reference for promoting effective forest management, the ecological integrity and functional attributes of old-growth beech forests are essential learning platforms for understanding managed forests.

  • Giuseppe Bartoli Graduated
    Issue in Honor of Prof. Giuseppe Bartoli ARKIVOC 2006 (vi) 1-5 Professor Giuseppe Bartoli A Tribute It is a real pleasure for me to write a tribute to Professor Giuseppe Bartoli on the occasion of his approaching 65th birthday. From the day of our first meeting in 1976, at the University of Bologna, I have considered him as a role model, a source of inspiration and a genuine asset to my profession. Now that I am a long way from Bologna, I miss the long games of “tressette” (an Italian game with cards) during lunch break and discussions on chemistry. Professor Bartoli has certainly reached an eminent position among present day scientists, as I aim to demonstrate by writing these brief notes about the areas in which he has achieved distinction. Giuseppe “Pino” Bartoli was born in Rottofreno, on May 25, 1941. He was awarded his degree in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Bologna in 1967. Then, following his first mentor, Professor Todesco, at the University of Bari, he started his academic career as Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry in 1968. There, he met a young colleague, Marcella Bosco, the woman who would become his wife, the mother of their daughter Francesca, but chiefly the harshest critic of his chemical work. He moved in 1976 to the University of Bologna, where he became Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry in 1980, and then to the University of Camerino in 1986, as Full Professor. In 1993 he finally came back to Bologna, where his family continued living from 1975. He is currently Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Industrial Chemistry, at the same institute where he took his first steps as student and researcher.
