Scientific Equipment Fund

In order to increase national and international competitiveness and the ability to attract financial resources of structured research groups within the University, the University of Parma created the Scientific Equipment Fund. It is earmarked for the acquisition and/or extraordinary maintenance of equipment of general interest, including software packages closely related to research activities, through co-financing that normally does not exceed 85 percent of the total cost. The acquisition or maintenance of scientific equipment, financed with the Fund is approved by the Board of Directors upon the proposal of the University Research Committee.
