==History==
==History==
The present-day Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is the descendant of several institutions modelled on the [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]], also known in Italian as Scuola Normale, which is a higher learning institution in Pisa. It was founded in 1810, by [[Napoleonic]] decree, as a branch of the [[École Normale Supérieure|École normale supérieure]] of [[Paris]].


The school, whose origins, in the context of the [[Pisa University System|Pisa university reality]], are rooted in the Collegio Medico-Giuridico already attached to the [[Scuola Normale Superiore]] and the Collegio ‘Antonio Pacinotti, and was formally established by the Law of 14 February 1987, No. 41, which marked the unification of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamento Law (7 March 1967), No. 117, and the Conservatorio di Sant’Anna, the [[Royal Decree]] of 13 February 1908 No. LXXVIII.<ref name="gazzettaufficiale.biz">{{Cite web|url=http://95.110.157.84/gazzettaufficiale.biz/atti/2011/20110301/11A16355.htm|title=SCUOLA SUPERIORE "SANT'ANNA" DI PISA DECRETO 9 dicembre 2011|date=9 December 2011|website=Gazzetta n. 301 del 28 dicembre 2011|publisher=Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana|language=it|access-date=20 February 2020}}</ref>
The present-day Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is the descendant of several institutions modeled after the [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]]. The [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]], also known in Italian as Scuola Normale (English: Normal School), is a higher learning institution in [[Italy]]. It was founded in 1810, by [[Napoleonic]] decree, as a branch of the [[École Normale Supérieure]] of [[Paris]]. Since its foundation it has operated a highly selective student admission procedure, and its main goal was, during that period, essentially to form the best college. Recognized as a "national university" in 1862, one year after [[Italian unification]], and named during that period as "Normal School of the Kingdom of Italy". As of 1922 until 1943, the philosopher [[Giovanni Gentile]] reformed the Scuola, gave it formal autonomy and sought an expansion to other disciplines, with the creation of the ''Collegio Mussolini per le Scienze Corporative'' (1931) and the ''Collegio Nazionale Medico'' (1932). The new colleges were later merged in the ''Collegio Medico-Giuridico'',<ref name="bicentenarioil">[http://bicentenario.sns.it/mostra/normale_repubblica.php La Normale nella Repubblica : ' Collegio medico-giuridico della Normale diventa il primo nucleo della attuale Scuola di studi universitari e di perfezionamento Sant’Anna']</ref> which continued to operate (in the fields of law and medicine) under the jurisdiction of the [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]].<ref name="collegialitil">Nicola Bellini, Nadio Delai (a cura di), ''Merito, Ambizione, Collegialità: il contributo della Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna alla formazione della classe dirigente'', ETS, Pisa, 2009</ref><ref name="nadiodelaiil">[http://www.nadiodelai.it/classe/Merito.html Nicola Bellini, Nadio Delai (a cura di), ''Merito, Ambizione, Collegialità: il contributo della Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna alla formazione della classe dirigente'', ETS, Pisa, 2009]</ref><ref name="monastero2002">Gianluca Breghi, Elisa Neri (a cura di), ''La chiesa e il monastero di Sant'Anna in Pisa: sede della Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna'', Bandecchi & Vivaldi, Pontedera, 2002</ref><ref name="conservatorio1920">Silvia Alessi, L'educazione del cuore e la formazione del carattere: vita collegiale della giovine al Conservatorio di Sant'Anna in Pisa. 1860-1920, ETS, Pisa, 2006</ref><ref name="sssup1">[http://www.sssup.it/UploadDocs/7377_1_WELCOME.pdf Guide for International Students, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, II Edition, 2011]</ref><ref name="felicieditore1">[http://www.felicieditore.it/index.php?pagina=prodotti&idElemento=801&mode=6 Dino Satriano, 'Dove crescono i talenti.

===Origins of Sant'Anna===
The present structure of the School was established in 1967 (as the ''Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento'') by merging the ''Scuola per le Scienze Applicate A. Pacinotti'' (founded in 1951) and the ''Collegio Medico-Giuridico''. The new institution, while still committed to the model established by the [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]], was administered by the [[University of Pisa]]. In 1987 the School acquired complete independence (Law of 14 February 1987, No.41)<ref>[http://www.sssup.it/UploadDocs/7768_Legge_istitutiva_SSSA.pdf Law of 14 February 1987, No.41 | L. 14 febbraio 1987, n. 41 Istituzione della Scuola superiore di studi universitari e di perfezionamento S.

* Sant'Anna Church and Convent
''[[Saint Anne|Sant'Anna]]'' replaced [[Antonio Pacinotti]] in 1987, when the School gained its current headquarters. The present-day site is acquired from a very ancient religious educational establishment. The Sant'Anna Church and Convent were established in 1406, while the church was finished in 1426, by the Order of the Benedictine Nuns. In 1785 was instituted the ''Conservatorio di Sant'Anna'' by the [[Grand Duchy of Tuscany]] - [[Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor]], as a consequence of abolition of the religious orders due to Leopold's reforms the convent was suppressed in 1786 and continued to exist as a ''Conservatorio di Sant'Anna'', an educational institution later under the tutelage of the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Italy and the Italian Republic. In 1987 the Benedictine Nuns dedicated the Sant'Anna Church and Convent to the ''Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento'' (previously the famous ''Collegio Medico-Giuridico'' of [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]]),<ref name="bicentenarioil"/> provided that the School caries the name of [[Saint Anne|Sant'Anna]].<ref name="collegialitil"/><ref name="nadiodelaiil"/><ref name="monastero2002"/><ref name="conservatorio1920"/><ref name="sssup1"/><ref name="felicieditore1"/>

* The origins of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies within [[Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa]]: the Scuola Normale Superiore was founded in 1810 by [[Napoleonic]] decree, as twin institution of the [[École Normale Supérieure|École normale supérieure]] in Paris, itself dating back to the [[French Revolution]] jurisdiction. The term "École normale" ("Scuola Normale") was coined by [[Joseph Lakanal]] who, in submitting a report to the [[National Convention]] of 1794 on behalf of the Committee of Public Instruction, explained it thus: "Normales: du latin norma, règle. Ces écoles doivent être en effet le type et la règle de toutes les autres."<ref name="download.sns.it">{{Cite web|url=http://download.sns.it/SNSguida_eng.pdf|title=Student Guidebook - Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa|website=Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa|others=Translated by Melanie Rockerhaus and Maria Vanzini|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426041947/http://download.sns.it/SNSguida_eng.pdf|archive-date=26 April 2012|access-date=28 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Nusimovici|first=Michel|date=December 2010|title=Les écoles de l'an III|url=http://www.anmonm35.fr/Base/documents/ruban2010.pdf|journal=Le Ruban Bleu|language=fr|publisher=Association Nationale des Membres de l'Ordre National de Mérite Section d'Ille-et-Vilaine|volume=29|pages=24–31|access-date=20 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160701184742/http://anmonm35.fr/Base/documents/ruban2010.pdf|archive-date=1 July 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
* The Decree of Foundation - [[Napoleon I]] rethought the project of an École normale in 1808, by establishing a ''Normale Hall of Residence'' in [[Paris]] to house young students and train them in the art of teaching the humanities and sciences. The project was replicated in [[Tuscany]] by a decree dated 18 October 1810, with the foundation in [[Pisa]], seat of one of the Imperial University academies, of a branch of the [[Paris]]-based École normale supérieure, "[[Scuola Normale Superiore]]".<ref name=":0" /><ref name="download.sns.it"/>
* The Grand-Duchy Period: 1847-1859 - on 28 November 1846, a grand-ducal motu proprio founded a Tuscan Scuola Normale in Pisa (also referred to as the Imperial Royal Scuola Normale, as it was linked to the Austrian system), {{Clarify|date=February 2014}} with both theoretical and practical aims, under the patronage of the [[Order of Saint Stephen]], but depending on the [[University of Pisa]].<ref name="nadiodelaiil">[http://www.nadiodelai.it/classe/Merito.html Nicola Bellini, Nadio Delai (a cura di), ''Merito, Ambizione, Collegialità: il contributo della Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna alla formazione della classe dirigente''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308070816/http://www.nadiodelai.it/classe/Merito.html |date=8 March 2012 }}, ETS, Pisa (2009) {{in lang|it}}</ref><ref name="download.sns.it"/>

[[File:SSSA main gate.jpg|right|thumb|Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies: main gate]]Prospective undergraduates undergo a rigorous public examination, and only the very best are creamed off to combine their [[Pisa University]] studies with the extra options available at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, thus these students are called ''Honors College Students'' ({{langx|it|Allievi Ordinari}}). Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna is also integrated with the [[Scuola Normale Superiore]] and ''Honors College Students'' are free to attend courses provided by departments other than their own, as well as those provided by the [[Scuola Normale Superiore]].<ref name="sssup1"/>


{{As of|2020}}, 50 freshmen are admitted per year, equally divided between the Class of Social Sciences and the Class of Experimental Sciences. The School offers all of its services free of charge (accommodation, canteen, internet connection, library); students also receive a small yearly income for their maintenance. While attending the [[Pisa University]] courses, the ''Honors College Students'' (''allievi'') live in the school's college. Students have to achieve a high average grade in university exams (at least 27/30) and attend internal courses (including foreign language classes offered in French, Spanish, German and Chinese) taught by professors and researchers working at the School, both as an integration and as an extension to the regular academic schedule.<ref name="sssup1"/>

The Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies (Italian: SSSA, Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamento Sant'Anna) is a special-statute, highly selective public research university located in Pisa, Italy. Together with the University of Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, it is part of the Pisa University System.[1]

The rector is Sabina Nuti, who took office on 7 May 2019. Before her, the rector of the school was Pierdomenico Perata, elected on 8 May 2013 after the resignation of Maria Chiara Carrozza, due to her election as Member of Parliament and appointment as Minister of Education, University and Research.

Since January 2014, the school has been presided over by Yves Mény, until the School joined the first Federation of Universities in Italy, together with two among the other twenty Scuole Superiori Universitarie (Grandes Écoles):[2][3] Scuola Normale Superiore and Scuola Superiore Studi Pavia IUSS. Before him, the president was Giuliano Amato, a former prime minister of Italy and currently judge of the Constitutional Court.[4][5]

The undergraduate Allievi Ordinari of the School are selected through a rigorous public examination with written and oral tests, with about 5% admission rate.[6] They are all awarded a full government-funded scholarship which includes accommodation, canteen, research and travel grants. In exchange, they are expected to hold the highest standards in their studies at both the School and at the partner Universities.

History

[edit]

The present-day Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is the descendant of several institutions modelled on the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, also known in Italian as Scuola Normale, which is a higher learning institution in Pisa. It was founded in 1810, by Napoleonic decree, as a branch of the École normale supérieure of Paris.

The school, whose origins, in the context of the Pisa university reality, are rooted in the Collegio Medico-Giuridico already attached to the Scuola Normale Superiore and the Collegio ‘Antonio Pacinotti, and was formally established by the Law of 14 February 1987, No. 41, which marked the unification of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamento Law (7 March 1967), No. 117, and the Conservatorio di Sant’Anna, the Royal Decree of 13 February 1908 No. LXXVIII.[7]

Origins of Sant'Anna

[edit]

  • Sant'Anna Church and Convent

The present-day site is acquired from a very ancient religious educational establishment. The Sant'Anna Church and Convent was established in 1406, while the church was finished in 1426, by the Order of the Benedictine Nuns (OSB).

  • Conservatorio di Sant'Anna

In 1785, the Conservatorio di Sant'Anna was initiated by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor as a consequence of abolition of the religious orders due to Leopold's reforms; [clarification needed] the convent was suppressed in 1786. [citation needed]

The present-day structure

[edit]

Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and the University of Pisa create the Pisa University System. The Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies has been given separate university status by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (Italy) and together with Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa is leading the model of Scuole di Eccellenza, i.e. Superior Graduate School in Italy (Grandes écoles)[2][20]

Organization

[edit]

Students are admitted after passing public national and international competitions. Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies offers to those who decide to take excellence, a multi-disciplinary approach to learning, research, and internationalization.

Academics and research

[edit]

Students are admitted after passing public national and international competitions. The fields of study and research are:

Class Subjects
Social Sciences Class
Business Sciences, Economic Sciences, Legal Sciences, Political Sciences
Experimental Sciences Class Agricultural Sciences, Medical Sciences, Industrial Engineering, Information Engineering

Undergraduate programs

[edit]
Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies: main gate

Prospective undergraduates undergo a rigorous public examination, and only the very best are creamed off to combine their Pisa University studies with the extra options available at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, thus these students are called Honors College Students (Italian: Allievi Ordinari). Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna is also integrated with the Scuola Normale Superiore and Honors College Students are free to attend courses provided by departments other than their own, as well as those provided by the Scuola Normale Superiore.[13]

As of 2020, 50 freshmen are admitted per year, equally divided between the Class of Social Sciences and the Class of Experimental Sciences. The School offers all of its services free of charge (accommodation, canteen, internet connection, library); students also receive a small yearly income for their maintenance. While attending the Pisa University courses, the Honors College Students (allievi) live in the school's college. Students have to achieve a high average grade in university exams (at least 27/30) and attend internal courses (including foreign language classes offered in French, Spanish, German and Chinese) taught by professors and researchers working at the School, both as an integration and as an extension to the regular academic schedule.[13]

Graduate programs

[edit]

The School also offers graduate courses such as master and doctoral programmes, provided by its research laboratories and joint ventures with foreign universities, leading enterprises and international organizations.

Doctoral programs (PhD)

[edit]

The first institution in Italy to create a doctoral program (PhD) was Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa in 1927 under the historic name "Diploma di Perfezionamento".[15][21] Research doctorates or PhD (Italian: Dottorato di ricerca) in Italy were introduced with law and Presidential Decree in 1980 (Law of 21 February 1980, No. 28 and the Presidential Decree No. 382 of 11 July 1980), referring to the reform of academic teaching, training and experimentation in organisation and teaching methods.[22][23]

Hence, the Superior Graduate Schools in Italy (Grandes écoles)[2] (Italian: Scuola Superiore Universitaria),[3] also called Schools of Excellence (Italian: Scuole di Eccellenza)[2][20] such as Scuola Normale Superiore and Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies still keep their reputed historical "Diploma di Perfezionamento" PhD title by law[24][25] and MIUR Decree.[26][19]

The Doctoral Programmes[25][26] at Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies grant Diploma di Perfezionamento, a degree fully equivalent to a PhD and are recognized International Doctoral Programmes involving various forms of collaboration and joint ventures with foreign universities.[25]

Post-doctoral education and research

[edit]

There are also worldwide important international corporations and industrial partners that are closely linked to Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, such as: the nearby Piaggio where there are special Sant'Anna Laboratories at the Polo Sant'Anna Valdera (PSAV),[27][28] which contributes to the industrial process, Leonardo, Fiat (Centro Ricerche Fiat), Telecom Italia, Marconi Communications, Ericsson Research, Deutsche Telekom, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd, etc.

Polo Sant'Anna Valdera (PSAV)[29] is a research center of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies based in Pontedera (Pisa). It was inaugurated in 2002 thanks to the interest of the then president of Piaggio, Giovanni Alberto Agnelli. The property is housed in converted sheds donated by Piaggio.[30] The main research is in the fields of robotics, bioengineering, biotechnology, precision engineering, computing and virtual environments. Polo Sant'Anna Valdera (PSAV) has 25 offices, 4 classrooms for teaching, 7 laboratories, 20 rooms, all six thousand square meters. There currently employs about hundred people. The most important project in these laboratories is a bionic hand for people to have an upper limb amputee.[27] The ARTS Lab - Advanced Robotics Technology and System, created the famous breakthrough in the field of bio-robotics with the so-called CYBER HAND, shown on CNN International's Vital Signs Life Hand report. Sant'Anna also undertakes many international projects which are tied to the European Commission, the Government of Italy and its ministries, as well as regional projects of the Region of Tuscany and the Province of Pisa. The school maintains a number of research laboratories, some of which are located at the National Research Council (CNR) whose largest research center is in Pisa.

In the framework of the bilateral cooperation between Italy and China i.e. the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban), Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna hosts the third Italian Confucius Institute.
