This section collects the documentation related to the strategic planning and monitoring of the Department of Computer Science, organized in three-year cycles. For each period, two complementary types of documents are provided. The Strategic Plan outlines the Department’s vision, objectives, and development lines across its main areas of activity: research, education, internationalization, and third mission. The Monitoring and Reporting document, on the other hand, presents the progress made toward the defined objectives through quantitative and qualitative indicators, highlighting achieved results and potential critical issues. Together, these documents represent the main tool for planning, self-assessment, and continuous improvement of the Department. Their consultation allows readers to understand the evolution of strategies and performance over time.
- 2023-2025
The Strategic Plan 2023–2025 of the Department of Computer Science outlines a vision focused on excellence in research, education, and third mission activities, with a strong international and interdisciplinary orientation. The Department is characterized by a broad educational offer, English-taught programs, and a highly competitive PhD with strong career outcomes. Research activities span multiple areas of computer science, with particular emphasis on AI, data science, and cross-disciplinary approaches. At the same time, initiatives in technology transfer, entrepreneurship, and public engagement are actively promoted, also through collaborations with industry and local stakeholders.
The Monitoring document shows that, over the three-year period, most strategic objectives have been achieved or exceeded, especially in terms of high-quality publications, growth of interdisciplinary research, and startup development. There has been a significant increase in international students, while some challenges remain in the Erasmus program and in building Alumni networks. Third mission and entrepreneurial activities have expanded considerably, with strong involvement of students and researchers. Overall, the Department demonstrates a solid capacity for growth, innovation, and scientific and societal impact.
