Pisa hosts the biggest CNR campus in Italy, and is the home of three prestigious Universities, the University of Pisa, Scuola Normale Superiore, S. Anna School of Advanced Studies. Pisa research institutions have a long heritage of excellence in Computer Science, dating back from the first Italian computer (CEP, 1961) and the first Italian connection to the Internet (1986).

The activities of the Ubiquitous Internet Research Unit range over multiple topics related to the design and analysis of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) networking and computing systems, including edge computing, Internet of People, decentralised AI, human-centric networked systems, online/mobile social networks, data centric and self-organising networks. Verticals of interest include Industry 4.0, e-health, energy efficiency, smart mobility. The RU has a strong track record of successful activities in national and European projects, from FP6 to Horizon Europe (HE), which is reflected in the many international collaborations in EU and USA activated by the researchers of the RU.
