RESEARCH FACILITIES

Departments
The 18 Departments and 2 Faculties of the University of Pavia are organized according to homogeneous research sectors, aims, methodologies and teaching activities. Their main task is to promote and coordinate research activities, as well as to organize undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD courses. Each Department is headed by a Director and its activities are managed by a restricted board and a Council (which includes all teaching and research staff, as well as students and PhD’s representatives)
