What University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli does

The University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli (Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli) is a public Italian state university founded in 1991, headquartered in Caserta with eight campuses spread across the Campania region including Naples, Capua, Santa Maria Capua Vetere, and Aversa. It operates 16 academic departments covering humanities, sciences, engineering, medicine, law, and economics, and serves primarily domestic and international students through undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and continuing education programs. The institution is governed under the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and was previously known as the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli (SUN).

The university generates revenue through a combination of regulated tuition (set against ISEE income brackets), government allocations from MUR, competitive research grants (PRIN, Horizon Europe, PNRR), third-mission industry services and consulting, and voluntary donations. Its operational technology stack includes the MyVanvitelli mobile application (developed with CINECA, integrated with the ESSE3 student information system under GDPR Art. 25), the WebLearning e-learning platform, V:Radio campus broadcasting, and the Eduroam WiFi federation. Research capabilities include AI-enabled 'digital unwrapping' of Herculaneum scrolls (with University of Kentucky), MUSIC-based interferometric holography for non-destructive testing (with CNIT and University of Catania), additive manufacturing for aerospace components (with University of Salerno), and Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (with Chinese partners Xiamen Humanity Hospital and Neuboron MedTech).

The university maintains a broad international partnership network, including the European Alliance UNINOVIS, Erasmus+ exchanges, bilateral agreements with institutions in China and Russia, and the UNHCR UNICORE program for refugee students. Student support infrastructure spans the CID disability inclusion center, SAPS psychological services, and the International Welcome Desk. Lucia Altucci was elected Rector with 97% approval, signaling institutional continuity alongside active research expansion into AI-assisted cultural heritage recovery and advanced healthcare technology domains.
