UoN Italy UNIT

What are you looking for?

Welcome to University of Nottingham Italy (UNIT) – a venture based in Campania region, Italy.

Since 2020, we have worked in synergy with our Italian and European Union (EU) partners on new research and technology development projects, offering world-leading expertise and experience developed by University of Nottingham’s lead academics and researchers.

Our key research focus is the future decarbonised aircraft, but we are not limited to this.

Our vision and Mission

We aim to share our leading expertise on aircraft electrification with the Italian aerospace sector and develop relationships with key Italian stakeholders involved in aerospace Research and Development (R&D) programmes. We would like to create strong partnerships with private and public institutions and academia to train young innovators delivering aerospace related solutions. We will establish connections between Italy and the UK to exchange knowledge and expertise related to the aircraft sector.

We would like to support the creation of an innovation eco-system, spanning from research and technology development and the creation of new knowledge, to setting up new companies offering new products and services for economic growth and development.
