ABOUT BRESCIA
Dating back to the Roman period, Brescia (originally Brixia), and its province lie almost at the heart of the Po Valley, between Milan and Venice, enclosed by three lakes: Lake Garda, Lake Idro and Lake Iseo. In 2008 Brescia had a population of about 200,000 inhabitants. The town is served by an excellent bus and subway system and a motorway and railway network; distances to Milan and Verona are 92 km and 67 km respectively.The nearest airports are Montichiari (VBS), Verona (VRN), Bergamo (BGY), Milan Malpensa (MXP), Milan Linate (LIN), and Venice (VCE).
A BRIEF HISTORYof the University of Brescia
The University of Brescia was officially established in 1982, building on previous courses given by the nearby Universities of Milan, Milan Polytechnic, and Parma.
When it was founded, the University gathered three Schools: Economics, Engineering, and Medicine. The School of Law was added in 1996.
As a result, since November 1, 2012, the University of Brescia comprises 8 departments.VBS VRN

HEALTH&WEALTHthe strategic plan 2014-2016
Health&Wealth is the new thematic project of the University of Brescia, grounded in new knowledge, research, culture, health, wellbeing, technology, legality and progress: these will all become integrated into a vision of sustainable economic development in which the person and their values are the central objective. Health&Wealth is a project aimed at the transformation of both our way of living and of thinking, such that economic and industrial systems can thrive while respecting culture, people and the environment.
The Health&Wealth strategic plan adopted in 2014 is aimed towards developing
smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, in a modern industrial society in which wellbeing does not result solely from wealth but it is also ascribed to a blend of culture, environmental quality, sustainable urban choices and healthy lifestyles. This common vision shared by its faculty, researchers, and employees, is transmitted to the students and to the community at large.
Research and education priorities at the University of Brescia will be directed towards the development of activities of the Health&Wealth framework, with a collaborative effort of our areas of Economics,
Engineering and Technology, Law and Medicine on the following four major topics:• longevity, • environment, • lifestyles, • health and wellbeing technologies.
THE NEW EDUCATIONAL PROJECTTraining is a crucial transversal issue of the Health&Wealth project developed by the University of Brescia. This new and innovative educational project offers cultural and multi-disciplinary
courses of different levels aimed at preparing a new generation of educated and skilled citizens who will lead development in the academic world, business, institutions and society.
The Master’s Degree in “Science and technology for population health and wealth” and the PhD course in “Technology for Health” will be available from the start of the academic year 2014/2015. These new proposals for specific
educational courses created by the University of Brescia with the strategic thematic Health&Wealth project, aim to attract students from all over Italy and abroad.

The Department was established in the academic year 1982/83, in conjunction with the foundation of the University of Brescia. It was initially named “Department of Industrial Automation”, and later “Department of Electronics for Automation” so as to address, through its research activities, the needs of the local manufacturing industry. It gradually brought innovation to their production process thanks to the introduction of electrical components and algorithmic methods for automation and control. The Department, through the years, has consolidated its role and image as a unique environment for conducting studies and research for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary way including also fundamental research and it is now called Department of Information Engineering (DII). The Department’s main competences range in the following fields: Automation, Electromagnetic fields, Electronics, Physics of Fundamental Interaction, Information Technology, Electric and Electronic Measurements, Condensed Matter Physics and Telecommunications. Research activities are carried out within several research and development laboratories and they are oriented to improve both fundamental and application oriented research. Effort is also devoted to technology transfer to the manufacturing and service industry, whether public or private. In this context, the DII has signed a large number of contracts to conduct both fundamental and applied research, expert assessments and exploratory development, supported by private

companies and/or national, European and international funding agencies. The commitment of all researchers enabled the Department to deposit numerous patents, filed both nationally and internationally. In recent years, the Department has also acted as an incubator for a few spin-off companies, which are now operating successfully on the market place. The Department promotes and coordinates research investments as a whole; it provides adequate facilities, thanks to the maintenance of high quality laboratory equipment and an advanced computing and networking infrastructure. The careful allocation of available space, the intense interaction between different complementary research teams, and the tight support by its administrative personnel ensures that all available human resources can operate at best to handle successfully any contractual research whether publicly or privately funded.

The aim of the Department is the implementation of the principles of modern academic medicine being involved in all the scientific and teaching aspects of numerous clinical areas, related to diseases that are in continuous epidemiological and clinical evolution. They include cardio and cerebrovascular, oncological and haematological, respiratory, endocrine and metabolic, neurodegenerative, infectious and psychiatric diseases. In fact, they represent the main causes of fatal and non fatal events at present time and will be even more common and important in future years.The Department is organised in 5 sections 1. Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology; 2. Internal - Specialist Medicine; 3. Neurosciences;4. General - Specialist Surgery; 5. Maternal and paediatric diseases. Cross-cutting research on these themes and the study of disease mechanisms at a molecular level are key strengths of the Department. In the Department clinical trials are conducted with both industries and non-commercial partners, where insights from basic science are translated to novel diagnostic technologies and medical treatments. We value inter-disciplinary collaborations between different groups with a total of about 80 academic members. Innovative teaching strategies devoted to improve professional quality in all health areas will be applied, in order to reach the best holistic approach to physical, mental and psychological wellness.
