Funding and Support Services

Promoting research excellence and quality is one of the strategic goals of the University of Florence. This commitment is reflected in building a research ecosystem founded on access to adequate and stable funding, the enhancement of human capital to attract and nurture top talent, the development of innovative research infrastructure, and the promotion of knowledge that generates real societal impact. In line with this vision, the University has earned the European Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) award, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to providing stimulating careers, transparent recruitment, and an excellent research environment for its researchers, in alignment with the values of the European Charter for Researchers.
