The Fondazione Guglielmo Marconi ("Guglielmo Marconi Foundation"), in accordance with its Charter, promotes the research in telecommunications and undertakes initiatives for the dissemination of scientific knowledge and of Guglielmo Marconi. The Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Minister for Culture and Environment.

Among the activities coordinated by the Foundation, teaching and professional training are essential, particularly with the creation in 1995 of the Graduate School in Engineering of Radio Communications, which organizes courses and seminars annually.

In the historic location of Villa Griffone work researchers, as well as the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation, including the Department of Electronic Informatics and Systems of the University of Bologna and the Ugo Bordoni Foundation. The research of these scholars follows two main trends:

• The first relates to mobile and personal communication systems, with particular interest in the radio propagation’s own subject;
• The second relates to the computer aided design of nonlinear devices for microwave .
