Officially founded in 1343, the University of Pisa has deep roots in Italian and European history. Its origins probably date back to the eleventh century. In the twelfth century Pisa already boasted a “Universitas” in the original sense of the word: a community of students and lecturers. Leonardo Fibonacci, the famous mathematician who introduced Greek geometry and Arabic mathematics to Europe, worked here.

In 1343, Pope Clement VI’s bull In Supremae Dignitatis officially recognised the University as a Studio Generale, granting it unique privileges and autonomy that were only afforded to other European cities such as Prague and Heidelberg.

Today the University of Pisa is a centre of excellence with 20 departments, over 150 degree courses and 50 specialty schools. Thanks to a long academic tradition, successful research, and innovation, the University is recognised as one of the best in Italy and Europe. Its illustrious alumni include Nobel laureates such as Enrico Fermi and Carlo Rubbia and prominent figures in the cultural and scientific world such as Andrea Bocelli and Alessio Figalli.

The University of Pisa continues to be a symbol of excellence and international openness, with a constant commitment to building bridges between cultures, disciplines and people to meet the challenges of the future.

Euro-Par Conference will be hosted at the Polo della Memoria San Rossore 1938, a landmark site for learning, remembrance, and innovation.

Located just steps away from the iconic Leaning Tower and the medieval city walls, the Polo della Memoria is one of the newest and most significant additions to the University of Pisa’s campus. The building symbolizes a commitment to academic excellence, sustainability, and historical reflection.

Inaugurated in 2023, the Polo della Memoria San Rossore 1938 is an innovative educational complex that houses the teaching activities of several departments, including Civilizations and Forms of Knowledge and Biology. It offers:

• 11 fully equipped lecture halls
• 4 modern laboratories
• A 250-seat auditorium
• Over 1,300 total seats

The name commemorates the 1938 Italian racial laws signed nearby at San Rossore, reflecting the University’s commitment to values of democracy, equality, and human dignity.
