The two-day ELECTRIC SHIP SUPER STORAGE EVENT that was part of the V-ACCESS project concluded in Trieste on 3rd December. The event focused on shipboard electrification through the use of innovative technologies, such as superconductors and supercapacitors for energy storage and was attended by all the companies and university research units involved in the project.

The V-ACCESS project, coordinated by the University of Trieste, is dedicated to the development of a new generation of hybrid energy storage system (HESS), combining superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) technology based on magnesium diboride (MgB2) with supercapacitors.

Combining these two technologies to support batteries constitutes a major innovation in terms of both performance and reliability across energy storage and the release of strong energy impulses.

The strength of this technology lies in its uniqueness, and the solution proposed by the project will be applied not only in shipping and ship electrification but also in energy-intensive industrial sectors. In addition, innovation in storage systems will play a key role in power systems and will also be essential to balance energy production and consumption in electricity grids in response to the increasing integration of renewable sources and the needs of the green deal.

The V-Access project has been financed with European funds for a value of € 5,000,000 and is optimised to integrate with battery systems on board vessels. The advantage of the solution designed as part of the project lies in the hybrid management of a superconducting SMES accumulator and supercapacitors. The SMES accumulator is made of MgB2 and was designed and built by ASG Superconductors, while the supercapacitors were designed and built by Skeleton as part of a project that also involves Fincantieri, VARD, RINA, RSE, SINTEF, the universities of Trieste, Genoa and Birmingham and Politecnico di Milano.

SMES superconductor technology is ideal for short-term, high-power energy storage, perfect for power modulation and instantaneous voltage stabilisation. Supercapacitors, on the other hand, are electrostatic storage devices that offer very fast power delivery and absorption (high power density) and have an extremely long service life (millions of cycles). The hybrid interaction of these technologies with traditional batteries, in addition to extending their use cycle, allows for innovative load management and therefore the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Tests on the SMES superconducting system created by ASG Superconductors and the Skeleton supercapacitors were carried out at the Electric TEst Facility (ETEF), the testing laboratory for applications of electrical energy systems in marine environments, born from the partnership between the University of Trieste, Wärtsilä and Fincantieri as part of the Italian General Secretariat of Defence’s national scientific and technological research programmes.

Giorgio Sulligoi, a full professor at UniTS, stated that ‘ETEF is the flagship project at Trieste’s experimental facilities, a hub where academic and industrial researchers work together to define the future of electric vessels.’ He went on to conclude that ‘the synergy between companies and the academic world behind the V-Access project has already made tangible steps towards hybrid electrification technology that will be useful and necessary not only in the shipping sector but in all applications that require large and rapid energy pulses.’

Pietro Tricoli of the University of Birmingham and technological coordinator of the project, added ‘the supercapacitor and superconducting SMES prototype has been tested in a highly realistic operational environment, aiming for a technological readiness level (TRL) of 5, a step ahead of future developments linked to projects for the development and installation of this technology on board the ship. ‘

Gianluca Bertossi, Managing Director of Wärtsilä Italia said: ‘The ETEF prototype is an important research and technological de-risking infrastructure for the on-board electrical systems of future vessels. It makes the pursuit of similar objectives equally possible for land-based applications that share similar requirements for power quality, quality of service and reliability. There is no system in Europe with comparable performance in terms of installed power, technological characteristics, performance and testing capabilities.’

Marco Nassi, CEO of ASG concluded: ‘the V-ACCESS project presented all of us with a challenge and we thank all the partners for the work that has led to the successful testing of our SMES at the invaluable ETEF. We believe that superconducting storage is a high-tech solution that is ideal for meeting the innovation and resilience needs of networks.’

161 PhD students enrolled in the 41st cycle of UniTS doctoral schools, a growing trend also thanks to foreign students, who reach 20% of the total. The proportion of women/men is almost even, with the constant increase in the number of female students choosing this path.

These are the numbers published during the welcome event for the new UniTS PhD students.

After the welcome speeches of the Rector (Donata Vianelli), the FVG Regional Councilor for Employment, Training, Education, Research, Universities and Family (Alessia Rosolen) and the FVG Central Director for Higher Education (Ketty Segatti), the second edition of the PHD Innovation Award took place. Thanks to funding from the CRTrieste Foundation, the five PhDs who produced the best thesis in 2025 were awarded a prize of € 3000 each.

Designed to celebrate the merit, innovation and creativity of young researchers, this year the award went to 5 young people evaluated among 70 candidates by a committee of experts from the three major sectors of the European Research Council (ERC): Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities.

The winners describe their thesis as follows:

Alice Biasin (Doctorate in Chemistry): ‘Incorporating experimental pharmacology to chemical and material engineering, I investigated the effectiveness of innovative drugs against liver fibrosis, a disease still untreated. A further distinctive element of the research lies in the development of advanced hydrogel-based in vitro models with viscoelastic properties that reproduce those of the healthy and fibrotic liver. The results obtained show that ubiquitinase inhibitors significantly reduce fibrosis in vitro.’

Giorgia Nadizar (Doctorate in Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence): ‘I have studied how processes typical of natural organisms (e.g. neural plasticity and morphological development) can result in new mechanisms to increase the flexibility and performance of robots. In parallel, I designed transparent and easily understandable controllers that could match the performance of the most complex models. Finally, I have integrated these two directions for the first time, showing that it is possible to obtain robots that are both biologically plausible, adaptable and interpretable.’

Francesco Piazza (Doctorate in Nanotechnology): ‘My thesis introduces agarose biomaterials with controllable mechanical properties to study how cells respond to mechanical signals. The most innovative result is the identification of viscoplasticity as a new key parameter regulating cell adhesion. This approach proposes a new paradigm in the field of mechanobiology and opens up new directions for the design of biomaterials and in vitro models.’

Mattia Pozzebon (Doctorate in History of Societies, Institutions and Thought. From the Middle Ages to Today): ‘Through the study of scenarios ranging from the present to the farthest future and through the combination of ethical analysis, philosophical imagination and comparison with other disciplines, the aim of the thesis was to ethically assess whether the use of genetic modification techniques on animals can contribute to reducing their suffering and improving their quality of life.’

Loris Luciano Viteritti (Doctorate in Physics): ‘My thesis explores new methods for understanding particularly complex quantum materials, in which interactions between particles give rise to “exotic” states of matter, such as quantum spin liquids. To overcome the limitations of traditional methods, an innovative approach has been developed that uses artificial neural networks to represent and study these systems. Thanks to a new optimisation technique, the research allows to analyse extremely difficult models, obtaining more accurate results than conventional methodologies.’

The ceremony was chaired by Francesco Longo, Rector’s Delegate for Doctorates. Among the guests there were Francesco Peroni (Vice President of the Board of Directors of Fondazione CRTrieste), Maria Pia Abbracchio (University of Milan), Gianfranco Pacchioni (University of Milan-Bicocca) and Bernardo Balboni (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia).

A delegation of representatives from the six of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – TWAS Centres of Excellence https://twas.org/cas-twas-centres-excellence visited UniTS, where they were welcomed by Rector Donata Vianelli, her Delegate for International, Elisabetta De Giorgi, Vice-Rector for Research Paolo Fornasiero, Head of the MIGE Department and Prof. Stefano Di Bella of the Department of Medicine.

Speaking at the TOP500 Companies event, organized by NEM – Nord Est Multimedia in the Oceania Hall of the Stazione Marittima, Rector Donata Vianelli highlighted the University's strategic role in the growth of the region, emphasizing that UniTS's trajectory is increasingly linked to the development of the context in which it operates. She also commented on the University's encouraging enrollment figures.

"This year, we are seeing an impressive double-digit growth of 13% in our three-year and single-cycle master's degrees," a figure set to increase "probably to 15%" once medical-area enrollments are completed after the filter semester.

Facing the future challenges of demographic winter, the role of the territory and the dialogue we can establish with companies and institutions become crucial for a university like ours. Vianelli observed that growth will be possible because "the territory is becoming more attractive: the University of Trieste is growing together with Trieste, a city profoundly changed from the past," now more open, international, and eligible as an ideal place to study, work, and live.

However, growth is not just a matter of numbers: "It is not a journey we can manage without a vision, without a strategy, without actions that lead us to growth." For over ten years, the University has been working on attractiveness, aiming to bring young people to Trieste from all over Italy and, increasingly, from abroad.

One of the pillars of this shared growth is the relationship with the business community: in this regard, the Rector cited the work started in 2013 on job placement, building a structured dialogue with companies. There are businesses that "wait for our graduate when needed" and often do not find them, while others "activate a continuous dialogue with the university" and undertake genuine talent acquisition, involving students as early as their bachelor's or master's degrees. This approach helps create value for companies, for the University, and for Trieste in terms of reputation and ability to attract talent.

Within this framework, Vianelli recalled the recently released results on UniTS graduate employment rates, with the University of Trieste being first in Italy in several disciplinary areas, including engineering, architecture, economics, and the pharmaceutical-healthcare sector, and also ranking high in the legal area.

Collaboration with the business world starts with the design of educational offerings through the involvement of company representatives in the stages of establishing and reviewing degree programs. This allows the University to read labor market trends, identify emerging skills, and continuously update teaching activities, ensuring constant adaptation to the needs of the working world.

Alongside placement, entrepreneurial training is an important chapter: Vianelli mentioned the experience of the Innovators Community Lab, the University's laboratory where interdisciplinary groups of students develop business ideas and are supported in defining the project and the business plan, with the backing of external entrepreneurs and professionals.

In her speech, the Rector also addressed the issue of young people's salaries and mobility abroad, where better-paid positions are offered. This is a matter concerning national economic policies and the tax framework, but one which the region can influence by making the living and working environment more attractive to encourage the return of highly qualified profiles.

Vianelli linked this reasoning to the issue of the demographic emergency: universities and businesses are called to devise long-term strategies for investing in human capital and attracting students from Italy and abroad.

A significant point was dedicated to the phenomenon of university dropout. In Italy, the Rector recalled, about a quarter of students abandon their studies, with peaks exceeding 30% in some degree courses. A dropout represents a "failure" for the people involved and for the university, as it can translate into a loss of motivation and a higher risk of unemployment. For this reason, she explained, it is not enough to simply "promote" the University to get enrollments, but constant support must be provided to students, and choices far removed from their aptitudes and passions should be advised against.

In this perspective, the Rector valued the role of the ITS (Higher Technical Institutes) in Friuli Venezia Giulia as partners in building an integrated educational system. The collaboration focuses on two main axes: joint orientation, to guide young people toward the most suitable path, and the exchange of competencies, involving UniTS lecturers in ITS teaching and the use of ITS labs for shared educational activities.

"We can achieve great results by making the entire education system and the productive system collaborate," she concluded.

The Precious Papers exhibition promoted by the University Museum Services of the University of Trieste (SmaTS) will start on Thursday 13th November at Stazione Rogers at 18:00.  The initiative, carried out as part of the agreement between Stazione Rogers and the University of Trieste, will propose five weekly meetings until11th December to discover treasures from the libraries of the University Library Services and works of art from the collection of the University Museum Services.

The exhibition will start with a speech by Cristina Cocever and Elisa Zilli, librarians of the University of Trieste, who will present the book Keika Zuan, by Keika Hasegawa, an important Japanese artist of the nineteenth century, belonging to the Library of the Institute for the Promotion of Small Enterprises in Trieste.

The second event will be held by Maria Rosa Mezzi, a librarian at the University of Trieste, and Zeno Saracino, a historian and journalist, who will talk about the Library of the German Gymnasium in Trieste, using Michelangelo Rustia’s 1864 Schiarimenti sull’arte della ginnastica con un avviamento agli esercizi elementari (handbook on the physical education as an art starting from basic exercises).

The following week it will be the turn of Rossella Fabiani, art historian, who, together with Cristina Cocever, will illustrate the drawing book by Sant’Antonio Nuovo di Pietro Nobile kept by the Writers’ Archive of the University of Trieste.

Walter Gerbino, professor at the University of Trieste, will focus on the graphic and pictorial works of Gaetano Kanizsa in the collections of the University Museum Services.

At the end of the exhibition, Massimo De Grassi, a professor at the University of Trieste, and Serena Paganini, an art historian, will present the fund of the artist Dino Predonzani, donated by his heirs to the University of Trieste.

The University of Trieste and illycaffè S.p.A. have signed a new framework agreement that strengthens and renews their long-standing collaboration for the four-year period 2025-2029. The agreement, signed by Rector Donata Vianelli and Alessandro Benedetti, Director of Research and Innovation at illycaffè, aims to promote joint activities in applied research, training, innovation and technology transfer.

‘The future of our University must be shaped by increasingly close relations with the local area, at both a strategic and operational level: the renewal of the agreement with illycaffè is an important step for us, strengthening and developing our long-standing collaboration with one of the most important companies in our region,’ commented Rector Vianelli.

The partnership, which has been active since 2004, is based on a shared vision: to integrate academic and industrial expertise to generate excellent results, with a concrete impact on the world of work and scientific progress.

The new agreement provides for the development of projects in strategic areas such as:

• Coffee sciences: sensory, chemical, biological and biochemical aspects
• Technologies and production processes: processing, packaging, sustainability
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning: quality modelling, decision-making systems
• Cybersecurity in the food supply chain
• Coffee economics and marketing
• Language support and document translation

The multidisciplinary nature of the agreement involves the participation of numerous departments of the University, in particular those of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Life Sciences, Engineering and Architecture, Economics, Business, Mathematics and Statistics. 

There will also be numerous opportunities for students and researchers, such as traineeships, doctoral scholarships and research grants funded by illycaffè, as well as visits and internships in the company's laboratories and the Padriciano Research Area. These experiences will offer not only high-level educational opportunities but also concrete professional prospects.

The activities will be coordinated by a Scientific Committee composed of university professors and researchers from illycaffè, with the task of defining strategic guidelines, monitoring projects and promoting joint initiatives.

Four UniTS lecturers will be among the protagonists of Focus Live 2025, an event scheduled to take place in Milan from 7th to 9th November, promoted by the magazine ‘Focus Live’, which brings science to the general public in an accessible and entertaining way.

Vanessa Nicolin, Katia Rupel and Alex Buoite Stella, from the Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, and Mattia Zulianello, from the Department of Political and Social Sciences, will be among the speakers at the three days of events, meetings, workshops, shows and interactive experiences at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology.

This year's programme offers a journey through different scientific disciplines, where passion – this year's theme – will be the common thread linking science, sport, art and music. Topics covered will include Samantha Cristoforetti's passion for space, revolutionary gene therapies, artificial intelligence, the chemistry of chocolate, the atlas of emotions, 90 years of Schrödinger's cat and prehistoric reptiles brought back to life. 

Researchers from the University of Trieste will be the speakers at two talks in which they will reveal what could happen if the superpowers of comics became scientific reality and explain what populism is through games and challenges.

UniTS Talks at Focus Live (free admission, booking required on the official website)

7th November at 12:30

ANATOMY OF SUPERPOWERS

What would happen if the superpowers of comics and films became scientific reality? How would super strength or the ability to fly really work? Starting from curiosity and mixing fantasy and science, we will analyse superpowers through the lens of human anatomy and physiology. From super speed to regeneration, which mechanisms of the human body could be ‘enhanced’ to bring us closer to these incredible imaginary powers? A surprising journey where science meets imagination, to understand the limits – and potential – of our organism.

With Vanessa Nicolin (Human Anatomy), Katia Rupel (Oral Diseases) and Alex Buoite Stella (Physiology).

8th November, 13:00

POPULISM BETWEEN MYTH AND REALITY

Populism is often described as the absolute evil of politics or, conversely, as the only true voice of the people. But how true are these statements? Populism seems an elusive phenomenon, difficult to define precisely, yet it has typical characteristics that make it recognisable. In this interactive talk, we will test the most widespread beliefs about the phenomenon, separating facts from simplistic narratives. Not only will we debunk the myths, but we will also clearly explain what populism really is, what its distinctive elements are and how it manifests itself in different political and social contexts. Through games and challenges, the audience will discover how populist actors build their success, what strategies they use and what real effects they have on politics.

With Mattia Zulianello (Political Science).

From 3rd to 8th November, Vitiligo Week will be held throughout Italy, an initiative promoted by SIDeMaST to raise awareness and support people affected by this condition. During the week, over a thousand free consultations will be available in 40 dermatology centres in Italy, including the Dermatology Clinic and STD Centres of the University of Trieste and ASUGI.

In Trieste, consultations will be held on 7th November from 15:00 to 17:30 in the Dermatology Clinic and STD Centre of the Maggiore Hospital, Infectious Diseases Building, 4th floor. 

To book a free consultation during Vitiligo Week, please call the toll-free number 800226466, available Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00.

Professor Iris Zalaudek, full professor of Skin and Venereal Diseases at UniTS and head of the Dermatology Clinic and STD Centre, emphasises the importance of the initiative: ‘Vitiligo is a chronic, non-infectious skin disease characterised by white patches often located on visible areas such as the face or hands. It is precisely the visibility of the disease that often causes feelings of stigmatisation, shame, depression, anxiety or social withdrawal in those affected. For this reason, we at the Dermatology Clinic in Trieste are participating by offering free medical consultations during Vitiligo Week, sponsored by the Italian society of dermatology and sexually transmitted diseases (SIDeMaST).’

A collaboration agreement has been signed between the UniTS Department of Engineering and Architecture and the Municipality of Trieste to promote and enhance the city's contemporary architectural heritage, including the suburbs.

Thanks to access to the rich documentation of the Municipality's Technical Archive, the University, combining research and teaching, will promote in particular the work of Luciano Celli, one of the city's leading designers.

The results of the collaboration will be disseminated through cultural events, seminars and conferences, with the aim of highlighting the role of quality architecture in the sustainable development and identity of the city and its region.

'The relationship between UniTS and the Municipality is fundamental for the research and enhancement of the local architectural heritage. The newly launched project will focus on the figure of Luciano Celli. We will study and analyse part of his archive through digital redesign and illustrate and disseminate it to citizens so that we can rediscover together the golden years of Trieste's urban and architectural transformation,’ explained Adriano Venudo, scientific director of the agreement.

‘The Academy must be at the service of the region, creating mutual benefit and exchange. The project is not only an example of the multidisciplinary nature of our Department, but also testifies to the importance of rediscovering the past in order to design the future. This is particularly true for architecture, which is always a reflection of the level of awareness of society,’ said Paolo Gallina, Director of the Department of Engineering and Architecture at UniTS.

‘Administrators are well aware of the formal plan of architecture. We perform our role as architects by looking to the future but with a “rear-view mirror”, thus protecting documents and using them as a source of inspiration,’ added Thomas Bisiani, who works alongside Venudo as the project's scientific director.

The details of the collaboration were presented together with Michele Babuder, Councillor for Local Policies of the Municipality of Trieste, and Eddi Dalla Betta, Director of the Local Planning Service.

In 2022, the University of Trieste and the Italian league for the fight against cancer (LILT) signed a three-year memorandum of understanding to promote cancer prevention and healthy lifestyles among students, university staff and citizens.

The agreement, renewed by Rector Donata Vianelli and LILT President Francesco Schittulli, stems from a shared desire to develop joint initiatives in the fields of research, training, information and awareness-raising on health and cancer prevention issues, especially by promoting a culture of health care among young people.

In particular, the two institutions will collaborate to:

•   implement educational programmes and projects aimed at promoting primary, secondary and tertiary cancer prevention;

•   organise training events, conferences, information campaigns and educational materials;

•   encourage the active participation of the University community in awareness-raising initiatives and promote a culture of health among the younger generation;

•   support university master degrees, calls for proposals and research projects dedicated to prevention issues, with the patronage of LILT.

The coordination of activities will be entrusted to a Joint Committee composed of representatives from both institutions, which will periodically evaluate the results and prospects for collaboration.

The University will implement the initiatives mainly through the Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences.

With this agreement, the University of Trieste and LILT are strengthening their joint commitment to promoting cancer prevention as a cultural and social value, focusing on people's well-being and the dissemination of scientific and supportive awareness.

As part of the international Pink October and Blue November campaigns, two joint events are already underway at UniTS to raise awareness of women's and men's health issues, with particular reference to cancer prevention: on  Wednesday 29th October 2025, ‘Breast cancer and young people: understanding the risk and protecting the future’ and on Monday 10th November 2025, 'Movember UniTs: focusing on men's health'. More information will be available shortly on UniTS website (www.units.it).
