Who we are

The Department of Law, Political and International Studies of the University of Parma has been included by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) in the prestigious list of Departments of Excellence for the five-year period 2023-2027. With the "Fund for the Financing of University Departments of Excellence", set up in 2016, the MUR intends to incentivise and support the activities of the Departments of State Universities characterised by a high quality of research, teaching as well as scientific planning. To this end, every five years, the 180 best Departments of state universities, whether scientific or humanities, are identified and financed throughout Italy on the basis of a selection process that assesses the quality of the research produced as well as the quality of the research project presented, the expected spin-offs and its consistency with the priorities of the national and international system.The funding provided by the MUR aims to develop the winning Department, through investments designed to strengthen research and teaching, and to increase and enhance human capital and infrastructure.
