ETD

Digital archive of theses discussed at the University of Pisa

News

Following an update to the procedures adopted by the University regarding the protection of personal data, it has become necessary to temporarily hide the first and last names of thesis authors in ETD.
We will restore the visibility of authors’ names from 1 October 2026 to ensure that their work is correctly attributed to them. Anyone wishing to keep their first and last name hidden may notify the ETD Staff at any time.
It has also become necessary to hide all authors’ email addresses. ETD will continue to use them only to forward thesis-related requests, ensuring that the authors’ contact details remain anonymous to those submitting the requests.
