UniSR has always followed four fundamental guidelines:
-
-
- a plurality of visions united by a common interest in human beings,
- interweaving of integrated disciplines in a shared method,
- anchoring to the challenges of the present for research and knowledge, and
- training of new generations of culture which are able to contribute to a more prosperous future.
-
Their mission is summed up in the principle of “Innovating through knowledge”, together with answering to a question: Quid est homo, What is the man, strongly believing that the human kind is biologically, psychologically and spiritually unique.
San Raffaele is recognized for the excellence of its teaching and research. In 2019 alone researchers working in the Campus (Vita-Salute San Raffaele University and IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital) published 1559 papers, with a mean impact factor of 5,8 and a total impact factor of 9108. Our numbers, which have grown over the years, rank San Raffaele as one of the leading biomedical research institutes in Italy and Europe. The key to these extraordinary results lies in the daily commitment of our researchers and in the remarkable investment in human and technological resources by the Campus
In the “knowledge society”, Universities represent for Research a privileged “laboratory”, in that they are able to put their facilities at the service of the creation of value which is, in turn, instrumental to social, economic and cultural development. UniSR therefore believes that Research must develop as a central and fundamental aspect of the University in order to guarantee high-quality scientific production, capable of making a decisive contribution to the creation of common value by processing concepts and projects, not only within Italy, but also in European and international scenarios.
With regard to its strategic planning (2019 – 2022), the University intends to continue to guarantee “interdisciplinary” Research, by pursuing mechanisms that reinforce the forms of cooperation and internal and external sharing of resources and know-how, that takes place freely and autonomously, that is based on a code of behavioural integrity (Research Integrity) that maintains its reliability and reproducibility and that is open and shared (Open science/data sharing).
