Unisannio in Rete
The University of Sannio is an open university that is able to network with other universities and research institutions, and it knows how to dialogue with the world of school, work, and professions, as well as with public and private actors. In this context, UNISANNIO participates in consortia and public and public-private Agencies and technology design and transfer bodies with the dual objective of integrating complementary expertise and creating the critical mass increasingly needed to participate successfully in competitive calls, particularly EU programmes.
The following is a list of university associations in which UNISANNIO participates.
The Centro Regionale Information Communication Technology, CeRICT scrl, is a research organization formed in consortium companies with limited liability in May 2005, as a natural evolution of the Regional Competence Center ICT (CRdC ICT) project, born from an initiative of the Campania Region (P.O.R. 2000/2006 Axis 3 - Human Resources - Measure 3.16) at the end of 2002. The members of CeRICT are: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Università degli Studi del Sannio, Università degli Studi di Salerno, Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Università degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale, University of Naples Suor Orsola Benincasa, Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per l'Informatica, Fondazione Pascale.
CeRICT is a research organization that designs and produces services/products with innovative characteristics, from an integration perspective with the activities of universities, public research centres, enterprises, and industrial research centres. It creates a system of competencies that are transversal to specific territorial institutions. Its main objective is the exploitation, integration and coordination of individual researchers' knowledge in the ICT field. To this end, the model sees ICT researchers from the Campania Region, grouped in a common structure, managed according to logics of efficiency and objectives, self-sustained, and able to offer their expertise, not only to the local and national territory. The EU’s European Commission has launched a new initiative to promote the use of information technology in the European Union.
The Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per l’Informatica, CINI, is now the central reference point of national academic research in Information and Information Technology. Established on 6 December 1989, it is supervised by the Ministry responsible for universities and research, includes only public universities and is an in-house subject to the constituent, participating and legitimately relying entities. It is not for profit and may not distribute profits.
The consortium has submitted to ANVUR’s Research Quality Assessment. The consortium comprises 47 public universities, such as Universities, Polytechnics and Special Schools. 1,300 Lecturers involved in the Scientific Disciplinary Areas INF/01 and ING-INF/05.
The CINI promotes and coordinates scientific, research and transfer activities, both basic and applied, in the field of information technology, in agreement with the national scientific communities of reference. It is currently equipped with 10 national thematic laboratories, network, concerning the main ICT themes, such as: Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems; AsTech: Assistive Technologies; Big Data; CFC: ICT - Training - Certification, Cybersecurity, Embedded Systems & Smart Manufacturing, InfoLife: Formal and Algorithmic Methods for Life Sciences, Informatics and Society, Smart Cities & Communities. It also includes the National Lab ITEM "C. Savy" c/ o the University of Naples Federico II.
Unisannio participates in the activities of the following laboratories: Artificial Intelligence & Intelligent Systems, Smart Cities & Communities, Cybersecurity
The Center for Research on Archeometry and Conservation Science, CRACS, is an inter-university centre established between the Department of Earth Sciences of the Environment and Resources (DiSTAR) of the University of Naples Federico II and the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the University of Sannio. The centre's primary mission is to consolidate collaboration between the two institutions on issues concerning cultural heritage.
CRACS aims to promote, organize and develop scientific debate and research with a solid interdisciplinary connotation in Archeometry and Conservation of Cultural Heritage.
The laboratories of the two CRACS departments have the most advanced laboratory equipment for characterisation and diagnostics (Optical Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Fluorescence, Mass Spectrometry, FTIR Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and microanalysis (EDS and WDS), Thermal Differential Analysis (TGA, DSC and EGA-FTIR), plasma-inductively coupled atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OS). In addition, the Centre has portable equipment for non-destructive/non-invasive measurements (multispectral analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Raman and FTIR spectrometry, infrared thermography, colorimetry) directly at sites of interest (excavations, buildings, museums).
The CRACS gives students and graduates of degree courses under the DST and DISTAR, and students from other universities the opportunity to undertake training placements. In addition, CRACS also offers valuable scientific support to doctoral students with ongoing research in the scientific fields that characterize the activities of the Centre. Finally, the Centre offers third-party activities for other institutions and companies, both public and private.
