Statale offers its students the possibility of joining international research projects – the best example being the case of Medicine and Surgery. Reuters listed it at the second place (right behind Politecnico) in Italy and 52nd in Europe thanks to its innovative approach and variety of fields. Statale has published more than 22.000 scientific articles and essays, it has more than 1000 research projects active, 61 patents and 16 spin-offs – a brand new type of project that employs the know-how of a given company and starting from here, develops a new research meant to improve the initial knowledge.
Since 1958 the institution has one branch in Antarctica, where its students can pursue their career as Geophysicists together with students and experts from all over the world.
