The Department of Economics and Management "Marco Fanno" is one of the youngest Departments in one of the most ancient European universities: the University of Padova, whose origin dates back to 1222. The Department was founded in 1990 and it soon became a leading center in the higher education of business and economic sciences. In 2017 the Department of Economics and Management of Padova has ranked #1 by the famous Italian Research Institute – Censis. The ranking has been based on several indicators measuring teaching quality and likelihood of students finding excellent jobs. Our Academics, who are constantly coming up with innovative teaching methods, are involved in projects covering different areas. Such amplitude of scientific interests and competences has triggered the construction of several inter-disciplinary research groups whose members face real world problems from different & novel viewpoints. In addition, students are provided training periods in private firms, public institutions, research centers, and non-profit organizations to aid with their future prospects once they leave the University. The Department of Economics and Management is consistently ranked among the top three Departments in terms of research productivity and quality of scientific outputs by the National Agency for the Assessment of Research Quality (2011 and 2014).
