Discovery sources

Limitations: The 2026/27 national decree of available places could not be read (MUR and Universitaly blocked), so the 2023/24 MUR seat table is the backbone and 23 seats rest only on it (status not_verified). English-taught (IMAT) courses are recorded as tracks only where the university page was read (Catania, Cattolica, San Raffaele, Sapienza, Tor Vergata, Florence, Vanvitelli, Parma-Piacenza, UniCamillus, Campus Bio-Medico, Humanitas); English courses at Milan, Milano-Bicocca (Bergamo), Pavia, Padua, Turin, Bari, Naples Federico II, Messina and others were not verified. Teaching channels at one seat (e.g. Sapienza A-D, Padua 1-4, Milan poles) are grouped in one record. Ownership is left null throughout because no page stated it explicitly. Modena's Reggio Emilia seat and any seats opened after 2023/24 at blocked universities may be missing.
