Tor Vergata University of Rome, also known as the University of Tor Vergata (
It was established in 1982 with the goal of providing high-quality education for students preparing to meet the changing needs and opportunities of the workforce.[6] Furthermore, the university campus was designed to reflect the same atmosphere that students would feel on Anglophone campuses.[6] Many professors of the university are important members of the Italian cultural and political environment. Its current rector is Nathan Levialdi Ghiron,[7] a professor at the School of Engineering and former vice-Rector.[8][9]
Origin of the name
The university takes its name from the 14th-century farmhouse "Turris Virgatae" that was owned by the Roman noble Annibaldi family, whose remains lie beneath Villa Gentile on campus.
Campus
The university occupies a 6-square-kilometre (1,483-acre) area outside the
The City of Sport
The innovative City of Sport project, designed by the internationally renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, was an integral part of the city of Rome's bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics and would have hosted the volleyball, gymnastics, trampoline, and basketball finals. On February 14, 2012, the Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti called an end to the bid, citing uncertain costs and unknown financial benefit. The announcement came a day before the deadline for applicant cities to submit the application files. The project would have transformed the area of south-east of Rome. The two main buildings of the project the Sport Forum and Swimming Forum are symmetrical, each of them being about 21,600-square-metre (5-acre) in area and around 75 m in height.[16] The complex, whose construction had begun in April 2007, was to be completed in 2009 in time for the 2009 World Aquatics Championships but is still under construction. The new university tower, located on the opposite side of the road with respect to the City of Sport project, will rise to about 90 meters, whose penultimate floor would host the new administrative office of Tor Vergata, while the top floor would host a wide lobby that would offer panoramic views. The lower floors would welcome other offices. The layer below the tower would accommodate underground parking.

The university is divided into six schools:

Affiliations
In March 2019, the University of Rome Tor Vergata joined other seven European universities to form the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance. In June 2019, the European Commission announced that YUFE was among the 17 projects that would receive funding for a three-year pilot under the European Universities Initiative, funded through the Erasmus+ programme. The main aim of this programme is to create 'European Universities' based on cross-border alliances of higher education institutions in order to share a long-term strategy and promote European values and identity, by creating a European university campus for the purpose of promoting students' physical and virtual mobility.[55][56] Hand in hand with this aim goes the YUFE Diploma Supplement Track, rolled out in November 2020, a diploma supplement that acknowledges all the activities, projects and accomplishments, such as academic courses, professional training, etc, that students are given the chance to take part in across the various YUFE universities.[57] Tor Vergata University of Rome is, at the moment, the only university in Italy that is part of the alliance.[58][55]
Tor Vergata University of Rome is also part of the Young European Research Universities Network (Yerun), that aims to create and strengthen collaboration between high-ranked young universities in Europe,[59] as well as of the Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA).[60]
