Do these two Italian bodies (see my other question) have official English titles? I'm working on the bi-annual report for an Economics Department.

Ministry of Universities (and) Research

As I say to Lirka, Italy is a very strange country. Ministries change according to the ruling governments.
So, to give an exact answer to the question, you need to assign a date to the Ministry. E.G. Prodi's governement had 2 different ministries: one for Education and one for Universities and Research. Today they have been merged into one Ministry.

So, if the question is about Ministero dell'Università, I'd say Ministry of Universities (and) Research

The Ministry of Public Education (Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, or MPI) was (1861-1929; 1944-2001; 2006-2008) was the organ of the Italian Republic devoted to the administration of the national education system. It has now been merged into the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca (MIUR).

agree Pompeo Lattanzi : I would suggest the WHOLE title, namely: Ministry of Education, University and Research. Italy IS a very strange Country: in 1968 we (students) used to call it the "Ministero della Pubblica dIstruzione"

Ok for the whole title if it refers to the current ministry. If it refers to Prodi's ministry, it is Ministry of Universities and Research. Thanks a lot (In 1968 I wasn't born, but 15 years later we used to call it in the same way
