Coaching and Support
At the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), research is synonymous with initiative and interdisciplinary vision. In line with the Swiss dual model, USI primarily promotes knowledge-driven research, while also fostering projects with a strong applied focus. Considering the university’s relatively small size, the research results achieved are highly significant and reflect exceptional dynamism. USI and its affiliated institutes – such as the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA), the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB), the Institute of Oncology Research (IOR), and the Aldo and Cele Daccò Institute of Solar Research (IRSOL) – attract several million Swiss francs each year in competitive funding, primarily from the Swiss National Science Foundation and the European Union.
Education and Personnel Recruitment
With over 4,500 students from more than 100 countries, USI offers undergraduate and continuing education programs in a stimulating, cosmopolitan, and dynamic environment. Its educational offering stands out for its originality and international openness, contributing to the university’s unique profile within the Swiss academic landscape.
