Institute for Advanced Studies - IMT is characterized by its mission to reach the international research frontier and to contribute to push it ahead, concentrating its activities within a limited number of key areas. Moreover, the Institute recruits its faculty on a competitive international scale, evaluating, among other elements, their capacity to publish work in top level international peer-reviewed and high-impact journals.

Institute of Technology - IMT's identity as an Institute of Technology is defined by the aim of integrating relevance and excellence in research.
