The time necessary for suppliers to collect debts from public bodies has always been a critical issue. Excessively long periods can upset the financial stability of suppliers. Keeping payment times reasonably short is therefore an essential goal for the accountability of public institutions towards stakeholders. Our university keeps the average payment time below one month. This is in line with market standards for private companies.

The number of PhD students has progressively grown thanks to doctoral scholarships funded through NRRP funds. 9% of PhD students enter an industrial PhD programme, aimed at a research project targeting a specific company or institution.

The graph shows the value of bequests, donations and contributions from private individuals and foundations. Some contributions are aimed at financing scholarships, student housing or PhD scholarships. Contributions from the donation of the so-called cinque per mille, meaning 0.5% of one’s income tax, are not yet available for 2023.
