Bologna

Bologna is one of Italy's great university and food cities — home to the University of Bologna, founded in 1088 and the oldest university in the Western world, and a UNESCO Creative City of Music. Its compact, porticoed historic centre sits alongside a growing life sciences and research community.

Well connected by Bologna Centrale, one of Italy's main high-speed rail hubs, and Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, the city offers easy access from across Europe and beyond.

Bologna is the ideal setting for global collaboration and meaningful exchange in the community of Microbiome Times Forum.
