| NEW INTERDISCIPLINARY INSTITUTE OF DATA SCIENCE | | USI Eyes the “Science of Data” Every day our societies produce a vast, ever-growing amount of data. These data represent a unique opportunity for social and scientific progress, but they require new tools to improve their management, analysis and interpretation. This is the research area of Data Science. The key objective is to become a reference point where various skills and different approaches can convene and
be
combined through strategic interdisciplinary research projects, for further development of our University. >>> | | #USIDONATEBECAUSE | | Blood Donation Days are back on Lugano Campus Blood donation days are back at USI in cooperation with
the Swiss Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15th (11am – 4pm) and Thursday, April 16th (10.30am – 2.30pm) in room 351 on Lugano Campus.

World Swissuniversities is the new association formed by the union of the three previous rector conferences CRU (University) KFH (universities of applied sciences) and COHEP (universities of teacher education). This new entity, of which USI is a natural member, works at strengthening and enhancing cooperation, enabling the Swiss academic world to speak with one voice on both national and international level.
