The Institute for Advanced Study of Pavia (IUSS) is the last step of a long lasting higher education process started in 825 A.C. when Lotharius I, Emperor of the Romans and King of Italy, appointed Pavia, the ancient capital of the Lombard kingdom, as the site for higher education. However, more recently, since 1997, IUSS fulfils an advanced teaching and research model successfully implemented by two other prestigious institutions in Italy, the Scuola Normale Superiore and the Scuola Sant’Anna in Pisa. The core mission of IUSS is that of contributing to the growth of a small number of students, selected among five University colleges, by offering them, at any step of their higher education, qualified programs at an international level enhancing their capabilities and knowledge in an interdisciplinary fashion depending on the choices, the specific fields and outstanding qualifications of the professors constituting the Faculty. IUSS is also committed to scientific progress by promoting Ph.D. programs and developing research activities at an international level. Through centuries the University of Pavia became one of the leading institutions in Europe. (Source: the university website)
