Introduction

Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) is a young and active university established in 1996 and based in the Swiss Canton of Ticino. It consists of the three different campuses, in Lugano, Mendrisio and Bellinzona, where every day around 4300 students and 800 faculty, hailing from over 100 countries, convene. It is organised in six faculties focused on the following research areas: architecture, communication sciences, computational and data science, economics, health studies, humanities, informatics, law, medicine and biomedicine and theology. USI offers students a quality interdisciplinary education in which they can fully engage and take centre stage and where its researchers can count on the resources to pursue freely their research initiatives. The relatively small size of the campuses encourages the open exchange of ideas within the academic community. USI encourages faculty and students to develop their potential and their curiosity to experiment with new ways of thinking, learning, teaching and working.
