Description of the organisation

The Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (Dipartimento di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni - DET-, http://www.det.unifi.it, head Prof. Dino Giuli) is the basic structure for scientific research and educational activities of the Electronics and Telecommunications School of Engineering of the University of Florence. Formerly founded as 'Institute of Electronic Engineering' in 1971, the Department of Electronic Engineering was established in 1983. Presently, it consists of twenty eight professors, fourteen research assistants, fourteen technical assistants, and an administrative staff of seven persons. Moreover, more than fifty graduate students develop their activity for the Ph.D. degree in the Department laboratories, and a similar number of external scientists co-operate with the research groups.

Research activities cover a wide range of topics, including Microelectronics, Telecommunications, Telematics, Multimedia, Electrical Sciences, Electrical and Electronic Measurements, Electromagnetics, Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics.

The 1996 budget for research activities (excluding salaries) amounted to about 4.5 Billions of Liras (roughly 2.3 Millions of Euro), coming from the Ministry of University and Research, the National Research Council, the Italian Space Agency, the European Community and a large number of research contracts with Italian industries. A policy of the Department is in fact to provide support for the development of industrial innovation and technology transfer.

The educational activity associated with the Department of Electronic Engineering is concerned also with the innovative courses of the First Level Degree of Electronic Engineering, established in Prato, near Florence, in 1992.

The Department is moreover coordinating for the following Ph.D. courses:

- Telecommunications and Informatics Engineering

- Electronic Systems Engineering

- Non Destructive Testing

- Telematics and Information Society

 

The scientific activity of the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications in Telematics, Advanced Multimedia Technologies for education and training areas can be synthesized as below:

- Telematics: Electronic Copyright Management System (ECMS), Intelligent Terminals

- Metro-area broad-band networks and advanced satellite networks and related applications for teleducation

- Distance learning: development of multimedia advanced technologies and applications for Education and Training.

- Knowledge Management: design of a workflow management system and a workflow management system to support the delivery of health services.

In particular the research activities of the Department of Electronic Engineering has increased their impact in connection with:

- the strong support by the Tuscany Region Government (in particular through the recently established “High Technology Network” supporting specifically multimedia activities and initiatives);

-         the leader position in diffusion and development of advanced multimedia techniques for education and training, in Tuscany Regional projects: TELEFORM, UNIRE, MONICA, MONICA-2, TELOC MULTIMEDIA

The Department of Electronics and Telecommunications has actively participated or lead to several European projects.
