Department of
Computing Sciences
The Department aims to adress fundamental problems in computation, artificial intelligence and their applications in computational neuroscience, bio-medicine, socio-economics and complex systems modelling. This goal is supported by a diverse and ambitious faculty that brings expertise from several disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, and physics. The Department is founded on the values of inclusion, diversity and openness.

Two major events will take place at Bocconi during the week 26-30 of January 2026.
On Monday 26th, from 2:00–6:00 pm (local time), there will be the inaugural presentation of the Trevisan Prize for Outstanding Work in the Theory of Computing, sponsored by the Department of Computing Sciences at Bocconi University and the Italian Academy of Sciences.
The event will feature three talks by the awardees: two technical talks and one general-audience talk. More information about the schedule can be found here. Attendance is free. Please use the following forms in Italian and English to register to the event.
The prize is named in honor of Luca Trevisan for his major contributions to the Theory of Computing. It recognizes outstanding work in the field and aims to broaden the reach of awards—both across research areas and in the recognition of individuals.
The prize is biennial (awarded every two years) and consists of two categories:
- Mid-career: a scientist whose work has had a significant and lasting impact
- Early-career: a scientist whose work has demonstrated exceptional promise
2025 awardees
- Mid-career: Thomas Rothvoss
- Early-career: Yang Liu

We look forward to seeing you there.
At the event, the Trevisan Prize for Students “AI for Good” will also be awarded.
From 27-30 of January, the 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS) conference will take place at Bocconi. All information can be found at the link.
The Bachelor Program in Mathematical and Computing Sciences for Artificial Intelligence stands at the intersection of major scientific disciplines: mathematics, computer science, physics, and economics, with the objective to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
The program is designed for bright, math-oriented students who want to acquire a deep and well-rounded understanding of the instruments required to tackle the current open questions in science, medicine, technology and society, and who grasp the growing impact of AI.

The Master of Science Program in Artificial Intelligence offers a blend of theory and key applications of AI and machine learning and it is designed for students with a strong propensity for Mathematics and Computer Science who are interested in building software systems with AI capabilities.
It has been developed to provide the knowledge and skills needed to meet an increasing demand for professionals able to generate and apply these new technologies. In addition, students will gain broad knowledge and an experience of computing beyond machine learning, as well as the interdisciplinary awareness needed to apply computer science to other fields, such as the life sciences. They will also be guided in developing an understanding of important ethical issues in computing.
