Scientific publications play a fundamental role in the field of medicine, being key elements in the advancement of medical knowledge and the evolution of clinical practices.

Information videos
Scientific outreach is one of the key aspects for the Friends of URI Foundation, being of vital importance to both the medical and scientific community and to ordinary people, patients and family members. Indeed, everyone's well-being and health come from clear information and effective prevention programs (primary, secondary and tertiary). It is precisely for this reason that the Foundation devotes special attention to outreach, making available thematic videos in which some of the physicians and researchers, whom the Foundation supports, explain their activities and give useful tips to prevent the occurrence, spread and progression of diseases.
For the Foundation, it is important to share knowledge with an ever-widening lay public, emphasizing the value of a proactive approach to health.
