Unimore launches pilot project “Hearing Loop” for full accessibility of university spaces
The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia has launched a pilot project to improve accessibility in classrooms and service desks across its Modena and Reggio Emilia campuses, through the installation of “Hearing Loop” systems. These induction loop technologies allow people with hearing impairments to receive clear and direct audio signals from microphones and sound systems. The project has been rolled out across six university buildings, including main lecture halls and student services desks....
European Rover Challenge: Excellent Result for Unimore’s Project RED Team
Unimore’s Project RED team, composed mainly of students from the Department of Sciences and Method for Engineering (DISMI), took part in the European Rover Challenge (ERC) Space and Robotics Event, an international competition focused on robotics and aerospace, achieving 14th place in the main on-site challenge.

Unimore joins international team that uncovers link between climate change and tsunami risk
Over 250 million people—around 5% of the global population—live along the coasts of the South China Sea. Understanding the geological factors that influence tsunami risk in this region is therefore crucial for the protection of coastal populations and infrastructure, both on land and underwater. Tsunamis are primarily triggered by earthquakes and submarine landslides occurring along continental margins. Identifying the geological factors that affect their frequency and distribution is essen...
The SoilMATs International School comes to Modena
The SoilMATs – Soil Meiofauna Advanced Taxonomy school project, launched by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia under the European Horizon Europe programme TETTRIs – Transforming European Taxonomy through Training, Research and Innovations, is continuing with the aim of training a new generation of specialists in the identification of soil-dwelling animals. The initiative seeks to address the shortage of expertise in the taxonomy of animal groups that are little studied but essential ...
Unimore discovers a new mechanism underlying FSHD muscular dystrophy
The prestigious international journal Nucleic Acids Research has published an innovative and groundbreaking study by the MIOGEN laboratory, led by Professor Rossella Tupler from the Department of Biomedical, Metabolic and Neurosciences at Unimore. The study proposes a paradigm shift in the research model for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), one of the most common genetic disorders affecting the muscles and causing their progressive weakening. The research, led by Dr Valentina ...
MoRe Modena Racing Team Secures Second Place at Formula Student Austria
Once again, Unimore played a leading role on the international Formula Student stage, thanks to the second-place result achieved by the MoRe Modena Racing team on the RedBull Ring circuit in Zeltweg, Austria.

To this, a prestigious podium in the static Engin...
A New Therapeutic Strategy to Inhibit Blood Cancer Metastases
Myelofibrosis is a cancer affecting blood stem cells for which no definitive cure currently exists. The disease is primarily characterised by the development of fibrosis in the bone marrow, impairing its function. As a result, malignant stem cells leave the bone marrow, enter the bloodstream and colonise the spleen, causing a significant enlargement and clinical deterioration that, in severe cases, may require splenectomy. Until now, the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for the...
Luca Catalano, Associate Professor at the Department of Life Sciences at Unimore, has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Nardelli Prize by the Italian Crystallographic Association (AIC). This is the highest honour conferred annually by the AIC to a young researcher under the age of 40 who has made outstanding contributions in the field of crystallography. The announcement was made in recent days by the AIC, which selected Professor Catalano in recognition of the high quality and originality ...
This year, the Unimore team has focused its efforts on the MMR Hybrid project which, as the name suggests, involves the development and fine-tuning of a hybrid single-seater. The M25-LH is not simply an update of previous models but a radical redesign, conceived from scratch to meet the technical and regulatory challenges of the upcoming season with a completely new construction philosophy. It’s a project that embodies the team’s growth and vision, constantly evolving and surpassing itself yea...
