The University of Salerno has ancient origins, dating back to the 8th century Salerno Medical School, a renowned medieval institution of medical education that integrated studies in Philosophy, Theology and Law. With the support of the Lombard principality, it became an important centre linked to the Greco-Roman tradition. The school officially received the right to grant licences with the Constitutions of Melfi (1231) and under Charles of Anjou (1280), but lost its autonomy in 1811 under Joachim Murat. Suppressed in 1865, the university was refounded in 1944 and developed into a modern university since 1969.
Today, the university promotes values of secularism, pluralism and equal opportunities, with a commitment to teaching, research and collaboration with organisations and companies for a social impact on the territory. The Department of Medicine and Surgery (DIPMED), an integral part of the University, coordinates medical degree courses, master’s degrees, specialisation schools and a doctorate in Translational Medicine. The department’s research is oriented towards both basic science and clinical application, with national and international collaborations and promotes the dissemination of results through scientific seminars and exchanges. Research is often multidisciplinary, fostering national and international collaborations between different disciplinary areas. DIPMED has significant experience in Erasmus Plus projects, both as partner and lead partner, contributing to the development of initiatives promoting inclusion and diversity. Through these projects, the department has supported training and exchange activities that promote equitable access to education and international collaboration on inclusive topics.
