Politecnico di Bari

Politecnico di Bari, known in English as the Polytechnic University of Bari and shortened to POLIBA, is a public polytechnic in Bari on the Adriatic coast, founded by national law in 1990 and organised into five departments.巴里理工大学（意大利语 Politecnico di Bari，英文常作 Polytechnic University of Bari，简称 POLIBA）是亚得里亚海之滨巴里的一所公立理工大学，1990 年依国家立法创建，下设五个学系。

It is the youngest and the only southern member of the three Italian polytechnics, beside Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino, and its degree programmes concentrate on engineering, architecture, design and information technology.它是意大利三所理工大学中最年轻、也是南部唯一的一所，另两所为米兰理工大学与都灵理工大学，学位课程集中于工程、建筑、设计与信息技术。

Its engineering teaching reaches back to the faculty begun at the University of Bari in the 1943-44 academic year, while its architecture faculty was founded in 1989, so the school's roots predate its own 1990 founding by decades.其工程教学可上溯到 1943 至 1944 学年在巴里大学开办的工程学院，其建筑学院则成立于 1989 年，因此该校的根基比它 1990 年的创校年份早了几十年。

History

• The Polytechnic University of Bari was established by the Italian statute Legge n. 245 of 7 August 1990, which detached engineering studies from the University of Bari and gave them a separate home.巴里理工大学依据 1990 年 8 月 7 日第 245 号意大利法律设立，将工程学科从巴里大学分离，另立门户。

• The new institute was formed by merging the long-standing Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bari with the recently founded Faculty of Architecture created in 1989, pairing a barely one-year-old faculty with an engineering school already sixty years old.这所新院校由巴里大学久负的工程学院与 1989 年新设的建筑学院合并而成，把成立才一年的学院与已有六十年历史的工程学校配对在一起。

• Engineering teaching in Bari began in the winter of 1943-44, when the University of Bari first offered engineering courses while Italy remained divided during the Second World War.巴里的工程教学始于 1943 至 1944 年冬，那时意大利仍因第二次世界大战而分裂，巴里大学首度开设工程课程。

• The Faculty of Architecture that merged into the polytechnic had been established only in 1989, so the new university joined a barely one-year-old faculty to a sixty-year-old engineering school.并入理工大学的那个建筑学院仅在 1989 年才设立，因此新校等于把一个成立才一年的学院与一所已有六十年历史的工程学校合在一起。

• It is the youngest of the three Italian polytechnics, the other two being Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino, and the only one located in southern Italy.它是意大利三所理工大学中最年轻的一所，另外两所为米兰理工大学与都灵理工大学，也是唯一位于意大利南部的一所。

• Unlike broad comprehensive universities, the Italian polytechnics concentrate on technology, so Politecnico di Bari offers only engineering, architecture, design and information-technology studies.与学科宽泛的综合性大学不同，意大利理工大学聚焦技术领域，因此巴里理工大学只开设工程、建筑、设计与信息类学科。

• The Taranto branch of the engineering school was set up in 1991, barely a year after the polytechnic was founded, extending its reach beyond Bari itself.工程学院的塔兰托分部于 1991 年设立，仅在理工大学创建一年多之后，把影响延伸到巴里之外。

• Following the reform initiated by Italian law Legge n. 240 of 2010 and its later amendments, the university rebuilt its structure around five large departments rather than the older faculties.依照 2010 年第 240 号意大利法律启动的改革及其后续修订，该校把结构由旧制学院重组为五大学系。

• Successive changes under that 2010 reform divided the five departments further into branches, so most of them now operate through several sites across the Apulia region.2010 年改革之后的法定调整把五大学系再细分为若干分部，使它们今天在普利亚大区多地办学。

• By the 2005-2006 academic year the student body had already reached about 11,000, distributed across the cities of Bari, Foggia and Taranto under the new polytechnic.到 2005 至 2006 学年，在校生已约 11000 人，分设在巴里、福贾、塔兰托三座城市。

• Enrolment stood at roughly 10,072 students in 2018, with academic staff recorded at 275 people, figures that anchor the university's recent scale.2018 年注册生约 10072 人，教学人员记为 275 人，这些数字界定了该校近年的规模。

• As the engineering school counts a sixty-year history reckoned from the 1943-44 Bari courses, a polytechnic created by law in 1990 rests on a far older teaching base.工程学校的六十年历史自 1943 至 1944 年的巴里课程算起，1990 年依法创建的理工大学因此根基远早于其校龄。

• Bari's first engineering courses opened during the Allied campaign in southern Italy in 1943-44, a wartime beginning that the institution later invoked as its true origin.巴里首批工程课程开设于 1943 至 1944 年盟军在意大利南部作战之际，这一战时开端后来被追认为本校真正的源头。

• The 1990 unification placed a single governing polytechnic over the engineering and architecture faculties, both of which had previously sat inside the University of Bari.1990 年的合并把原先同属巴里大学的工程与建筑两院置于一个统一的理工大学治下。

• Since 1990 architecture has stood beside engineering as the second pillar of a polytechnic that Italian law restricts to technology-focused study.自 1990 年起，建筑学与工程学并列为这所理工大学的双重支柱，而意大利法律将其限定于以技术为主的教学。

• In 2023 a Bari researcher won an ERC Starting Grant, evidence that the post-1990 polytechnic had built genuine competitive research capacity.2023 年一名巴里研究者赢得欧洲研究理事会启动基金，表明这所 1990 年后建立的理工大学已具备真正的竞争性科研能力。

• By 2024 the polytechnic that had begun from a single Bari faculty had signed research agreements reaching to China, widening its horizons well beyond Apulia.到 2024 年，这所从巴里一个学院起步的理工大学已签署延伸到中国的科研协议，视野远超普利亚一隅。

• Teaching in Foggia, a branch added as the post-1990 polytechnic spread across Apulia, extended the institution beyond its Bari site and into the northern part of the region.福贾的教学是 1990 年后理工大学在普利亚扩展时增设的分部，把学校从巴里延伸到该区的北部。

• The decision to name the Department of Physics after Michelangelo Merlin tied the 1990 institution to Bari's mid-century physics tradition.决定以米开朗基罗·梅尔林为物理学系命名，使这所 1990 年创建的院校与巴里二十世纪中叶的物理学传统相连。

• Rather than scattered small units, the 2010 statute led the polytechnic to aggregate its teaching into five big departments, most of them split into working branches.2010 年的立法不是让院系零散，而是促使该校把教学聚合为五大学系，其中多数又分出若干运作中的分部。

• Across the 2026-2027 rankings cycle the youngest Italian polytechnic still carries the focused, technology-first character set by its 1990 founding law.纵观 2026-2027 年排名周期，这所意大利最年轻的理工大学仍保持着 1990 年创校法律所定下、以技术为先的专注特质。

• The engineering faculty inherited from Bari University had built a rising reputation at home and abroad across the six decades that preceded the 1990 founding law.它从巴里大学接手的工程学院，在 1990 年创校法律之前的六十年里，于国内外不断赢得日益上升的声誉。

Academics

• Its five departments cover electric and computer engineering, mechanical engineering with mathematics and management, civil, environmental and construction engineering with chemistry, architecture, and physics.五大学系涵盖电气与计算机工程、兼有数学与管理的机械工程、土木与环境及建筑工程并含化学、建筑学，以及物理学。

• The Department of Electric Engineering and Computer Engineering houses control and automation research and has long been the base of the IEEE Fellow Maria Pia Fanti.电气与计算机工程理学系是控制与自动化研究的重镇，长期是 IEEE 会士玛丽亚·皮亚·凡蒂的立足院系。

• Maria Pia Fanti has worked in that department since 1983 as a professor of system and control engineering, heads its automation and control laboratory, has authored more than four hundred papers and serves as an associate editor of IEEE transactions journals.玛丽亚·皮亚·凡蒂自 1983 年起在该系任系统与控制工程教授，主持其自动化与控制实验室，撰写论文逾四百篇，并担任 IEEE 学报类期刊的副主编。

• The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Management keeps its laboratories and offices in Bari's Japigia quarter, away from the main teaching campus.机械工程、数学与管理学系把实验室与教研室设在巴里的贾皮贾区，与主教学园区分处两处。

• Mathematics is housed with mechanical engineering and management in one department, a grouping that keeps applied mathematics tied to the polytechnic's design work.数学与机械工程、管理学同置一系，使应用数学与该校的设计工作保持关联。

• The Department of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Construction Engineering and Chemistry joins structural subjects with the materials science that underpins them.土木工程、环境工程、建筑工程与化学学系把结构类学科与支撑它们的材料科学合于一处。

• Chemistry sits inside that civil-and-chemistry department, reflecting how the chemistry of materials informs concrete, soils and building construction at the school.化学被并入该土木与化学学系，体现材料化学如何影响学校的混凝土、土体与建筑施工研究。

• The Department of Architecture inherits the mission of the former faculty created in 1989, one year before the polytechnic itself entered law in 1990.建筑学系承接 1989 年设立的旧建筑学院的使命，那所学院比理工大学本身入法还早一年。

• The Department of Physics carries the name of Michelangelo Merlin, a Bari physicist whose work gave the school a mid-century research lineage.物理学系以米开朗基罗·梅尔林命名，这位巴里物理学家的研究为学校奠定了二十世纪中叶的学术学脉。

• Its degrees run from three-year first-cycle courses through two-year master's programmes to single-cycle and doctoral studies, some of the master's taught wholly in English.其学位从三年制本科、两年制硕士，一直到本硕连读与博士课程，部分硕士全以英语授课。

• Fields of study include civil engineering, environment and territory engineering, building-system engineering, medical-system engineering, automation, telecommunications, electrical and electronic engineering, energy, management, computer and mechanical engineering, and industrial design.专业领域涵盖土木工程、环境与国土工程、建筑系统工程、医疗系统工程、自动化、电信、电气与电子工程、能源、管理、计算机与机械工程以及工业设计。

• Industrial design forms a distinct study line inside a polytechnic otherwise built almost entirely around engineering and architecture programmes.工业设计在这所几乎完全围绕工程与建筑建立的理工大学中自成一脉。

• A joint doctoral programme in civil engineering with Fuzhou University and Roma Tre University follows a two-plus-one model, splitting candidates' training between Italian and Chinese partners.该校与福州大学、罗马第三大学合办的土木工程博士项目采用二加一模式，把培养在意大利与中国合作院校之间分配。

• In November 2024 the polytechnic signed an agreement with South China University of Technology and the University of Calabria to build a joint interdisciplinary research centre linking Italy and China.2024 年 11 月，该校与华南理工大学、卡拉布里亚大学签署协议，共建一座联结意大利与中国的跨学科联合研究中心。

• Several faculty members are described as top international scientists, spanning traditional engineering fields and the newer information and communication technologies.多名教师被形容为顶尖的国际科学家，横跨传统工程领域与较新的信息与通信技术。

• Architecture is taught as a single-cycle degree of about five years, the Italian form that leads graduates directly toward professional qualification.建筑学以约五年的单周期学位授课，这种意大利式学制使毕业生直通职业资格。

• Many engineering master's and all doctoral courses run wholly in English, a choice that lets the polytechnic recruit students from well beyond Italy, even though its bachelor-level teaching stays largely in Italian.众多工程硕士与全部博士课程完全以英语授课，这一安排使该校得以招收远超意大利本土的学生，尽管其本科层次的教学仍以意大利语为主。

• As of 2018 the 275 recorded academic staff carried the teaching load across these five departments and their scattered branches in the Apulia region.就 2018 年计，在册的 275 名教学人员承担着这五大学系及其散在普利亚各分部的教学任务。

• The 2024 agreement tied the polytechnic's research network to Calabria University in the Italian south and to South China University of Technology in the east.这份 2024 年的协议把该校的科研网络与意大利南部的卡拉布里亚大学、东方的华南理工大学相连。

• Because the campus is shared, some science teaching at the polytechnic runs alongside Bari University, whose engineering faculty the institution left when it was created in 1990.由于校园共用，该校的部分理科教学与巴里大学并行开设，其工程学院正是 1990 年建校时所脱离的那个院系。

Campus

• Most teaching, classrooms and halls are inside the Ernesto Quagliariello campus in Bari, a site the polytechnic shares with the University of Bari for scientific subjects, the larger parent university from which the polytechnic was detached in 1990.多数教学、教室与礼堂位于巴里的埃内斯托·夸利亚雷洛校园，这片场地由理工大学就理科与巴里大学共用，而巴里大学正是 1990 年理工大学从中分立出去的母体大学。

• The campus lies close to via Orabona, while the rectorate and the enrolment and administrative offices stand nearby on via Amendola.校园靠近「via Orabona」，而校长办公室与注册、行政机构则设在邻近的「via Amendola」。

• Mechanical engineering teaching and laboratories are based in Bari's Japigia quarter, a separate cluster of workshops away from the main Quagliariello site, where the mechanical, mathematics and management department does most of its laboratory work.机械工程的教学与实验室设在巴里的贾皮贾区，是一片独立于夸利亚雷洛主址的车间群，机械、数学与管理学系大多在此完成实验工作。

• Outside Bari the university keeps branches in Foggia and Taranto, the latter hosting the interdepartmental centre Magna Graecia.在巴里之外，学校在福贾与塔兰托设有分部，塔兰托一方坐落着跨学系中心「Magna Graecia」。

• A second group of laboratories for mechanics and management occupies facilities near via Amendola, close to the administrative core of the polytechnic.另一组机械与管理实验楼坐落在「via Amendola」附近，紧挨理工大学行政核心。

• Set at roughly 41.12 degrees north and 16.87 degrees east, Bari is the Apulia regional capital and an Adriatic port and transport hub around which these sites are grouped.巴里地处约北纬 41.12 度、东经 16.87 度，是普利亚大区首府，也是亚得里亚海的港口与交通枢纽，各校区围绕它布局。

• Even after its 2010 reorganisation into five departments, the polytechnic keeps a compact footprint, teaching most students within Bari and its two branch cities with classrooms concentrated on the Quagliariello site rather than spread thinly across Apulia.即便在 2010 年改组为五大学系之后，该校的布局仍相当紧凑，多数学生在巴里与两座分城市就读，教室集中于夸利亚雷洛园区，而非零散铺满整个普利亚大区。

• The Quagliariello campus is used jointly with the University of Bari, which keeps its scientific subjects there alongside the polytechnic's engineering halls.夸利亚雷洛校园与巴里大学共用，后者把理科科目留在园内，与理工大学的工程楼宇相邻。

• By 2018 most of the roughly 10,072 enrolled students studied on the Bari campus rather than at the Foggia and Taranto branches of the institution.到 2018 年，约 10072 名注册生多数在巴里校园就读，而非在福贾与塔兰托两个分部。
