Lugano is conveniently located in the center of Europe. In addition to the proximity with a major international airport (MXP), Lugano also features its own small airport (LUG) with frequent connections to three major European hubs (ZRH, GVA, FCO).

The Faculty of Informatics at the University of Lugano (USI) was founded in 2004 and stands out as a centre of excellence in software and service engineering research. In a matter of very few years, it has become one of Switzerland's major poles for teaching and research, hosting 22 faculty members and more than one hundred Post-doctoral and Pre-doctoral researchers. The Faculty aims to train informatics experts that are interdisciplinary in approach, with abstract thinking and problem solving skills, a sound knowledge in the application fields of information technologies, as well as teamwork, interpersonal communication and project-management abilities.
