Dipartimento di Scienze - Roma Tre

What Dipartimento di Scienze - Roma Tre does

Dipartimento di Scienze is an academic department of Università degli Studi Roma Tre, a public Italian university founded in 1992. Located across two Rome sites (Viale G. Marconi 446 and Via della Vasca Navale 84), the department delivers undergraduate (Laurea), graduate (Laurea Magistrale), and doctoral (PhD) education across natural science disciplines including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Environmental Sciences, Pharmacy, and Optometry. The department was recognized as a Dipartimento di Eccellenza (Department of Excellence) by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), an elite designation renewed in 2025 that confers sustained enhanced funding and prestige. Giovanni Antonini serves as the Director of the department.

The department operates multiple specialized research laboratories spanning entomology, pharmacology, earth sciences, and environmental sciences, alongside a 22-workstation computer laboratory (Laboratorio Informatico). Supporting platform infrastructure includes GOMP for academic administration, IRIS for research output management, and the MeMo internal news and event platform. Research output includes publications in high-impact journals such as Science Advances, the discovery of new arthropod species, and active international collaborations through Erasmus+, INSERM INMED, Policlinico Gemelli, ILGE, and the PNRR EAR project consortium.

As a non-profit public academic institution, the department's funding derives from three streams: (i) core operating allocations from MUR and the parent university's budget, (ii) competitive research grants from national programs (PNRR, MUR FIS2/FIS3, PRIN) and international programs (European projects, LIFE program), and (iii) tuition fees regulated by income-based criteria under Italy's ISEE system. The department engages in "third mission" (Terza Missione) activities that transfer research knowledge to society through public lectures such as "La Fisica incontra la Città," school outreach programs including STEM in Scena, participation in European Researchers' Night, and collaborations with FAO on food security.
