Alumni Awards 2025 to celebrate Unibo Alumni who have achieved significant results in their professional and personal careers, contributing to creating an impact on society and enhancing the reputation of our university.
We established the Alumni Awards to reward and meet again those Alumni who have helped to change the rules of the game, solve problems, create innovation and growth and create social value. Those people who have the courage to take risks, who drive change, who do not stop in the face of defeat, who work together to make things better.
You too can play a part, together with the University’s academic Community, in selecting the Alumni to be nominated: if you know any Alumni who you believe have achieved significant results in institutions or companies, in the scientific, artistic-cultural or sporting fields, or who are particularly deserving due to their civil and social commitment, submit a nomination on their behalf to compete for the Unibo Alumni Awards 2025.
One man and one woman will receive the award - if selected - from each of the 5 subject areas related to their professional fields: Science, Social Sciences, Technology, Humanities and Medicine.
The awards will be presented to the winning Alumni at a special University Ceremony during which the Graduate Awards will also be given to some deserving recent UNIBO graduates. A special celebration and get-together planned for March 2026.
