Piero Formica

Chapter 17 in Stories of Innovation for the Millennial Generation: The Lynceus Long View, 2013, pp 103-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I was entrusted with the mission of bringing knowledge and culture out from the monasteries. I am the Alma Mater Studiorum, the University of Bologna. Founded in io88, proud of being the oldest university in the world, the mother of the universities of the Second Millennium, I was the favourite destination and centre of gravity for students wandering along the pathways of knowledge. Nowadays I find myself on the periphery of the new routes of knowledge which is being transformed into scientific entrepreneurship, routes that connect the new entrepreneurial economies of India and China with the United States and parts of Old Europe.
