  • the price of the full meal with reduction must be checked.

Erdisu is an agency run by the Region created to provide students with services (cafeteria and bar discounts) and financial support. As PhD students, we are entitled to get cafeteria discounts and to ask for an accommodation in an Erdisu-owned building. At Erdisu we can get the Trieste Universitaria card that is useful if we want to have discounts in some sport facilities, in theaters, etc.

Cafeteria (& SISSA Bar) discounts

In order to get these discounts you have to apply for an ERDISU card. In order to apply you have to go to the ERDISU offices (opening hours) with a passport-sized photograph and with the receipt for the payment of the € 110,00 tax that you were requested also to enroll in SISSA. As soon as you get there you should state that you want a tessera mensa and that you are a SISSA student. They will ask you to fill in a paper form. We strongly advice you to go there with someone fluent in Italian. If you're here as an ERASMUS student you can apply for the tessera mensa without paying the regional tax but you'll be requested to show a certificate from our Students' Secretariat stating that you are here thanks to an international exchange program. Your card will work only until the end of your stay in Trieste, for this reason the date in which your exchange period ends should be clearly indicated in the certificate.

Once you have your card you can immediately use it at the ICTP cafeterias (either in the Leonardo or Adriatico buildings) and at the Synchrotron cafeteria (in Basovizza). After a few days you'll be able to use it also at the SISSA main building bar in Miramare. You can use the card twice per day. You'll be entitled to get a full meal at 4.30€ (until the end of 2009). There is the possibility to pay even less provided that you can get an ISEE certificate. Unfortunately this is almost impossible for non-Italian students. In order to get this certificate you should obtain an officially translated (by a consulate) copy of your parents (and brothers or sisters) income declarations plus a translated document that clearly states whether your family owns any building, their value, and the exact amounts of your family savings. After you've collected all these translations you can go to the ERDISU sala convegni (only from August until the beginning of October) where there will be a number of employees helping foreigners in this procedure or to contact Trieste University tax office (only if the ERDISU provided assistance is not available at the time of your request) which will prepare the certificate for you free of charge. In particular you should contact the Ufficio Tasse by email () or phone (040/558-7971) clearly stating that you are a SISSA foreigner student. For those who have an ISEEU certificate the required values are:

Erdisu meal fares for SISSA Canteen
Price for a full meal Price for a reduced meal ISEEU ISPEU
€ 2,00 € 1,43 < 20.124,71 < 33.960,46
€ 3,50 € 2,50 between 20.124,71 and 30.000,00 between 33.960,46 and 48.600,00
€ 4,50 € 3,21 > 30.000,00 > 48600,00

Once you have the ISEE certificate you have to submit it to the ERDISU along with an on-line form that can be found on their website (in Italian only).

Accommodation in an Erdisu-owned building

Once per year all PhD students in SISSA can apply to be assigned a fully furnished apartment in an ERDISU-owned building. The building is in the URBAN area (complesso URBAN) sited between Via Sporcavilla and Via dei Capitelli. The selection is handled by SISSA and is announced on this web page and by an email sent to all PhD students from the Students' Secretariat. SISSA gives priority to candidates coming from the countries listed on this Ministry Decree.

Trieste Universitaria card

You can ask for this at the ERDISU. They will make you fill a request and take your photo. At the end they'll give you a temporary paper card saying that the official one will be delivered to SISSA as soon as it's ready. You can check the Trieste universitaria web site in order to see which shops and services you're entitled to get discounts. Also take a look at the sport facilities web page.

Contribution for the bus tickets

Every year ERDISU stores an amount of money to be assigned to students from Università di Trieste, SISSA and Conservatorio Tartini for being partly reimbursed of the purchase of a yearly or monthly ticket for the local transport in Trieste. You can read the announcement for the 2012-2013 contribution here (in Italian only). To particpate, you have to:

  1. fill in this form
  2. enclose a double-face photocopy of an ID
  3. enclose a photocopy of the yearly ticket
  4. enclose the original (already validated) for the monthly ticket
  5. ship everything to the following address Erdisu di TRIESTE, Salita Monte Valerio n. 3, 34127 TRIESTE or going to their offices in the following hours:

Mon to Fri: 9.30-12.30 Tue-Wed: also 15.00-16.00
