Hello,
I'm writing a conference paper and I would like the footnotes referred
to the authors (containing affiliation and university department
address) to be run-in the same paragraph (since all authors belong to
the same department and there's no need to go on a new line for each of
them and repeat the address), whereas the style for the remaining
footnote should be "new line for each footnote".

I had a look to footmisc and manyfoot packages but I couldn't manage to
do what I want with them (for the first there's no option to change the
footnote behaviour in the same document and the commands of the second
one are too complicated and I couldn't get them work!)

I thought there was a simple way like a \sameline command or something.

If one gets bigfoot from the CVS links at
<URL:http://sarovar.org/projects/bigfoot>, you can use
\footnote-{run-in footnote} \footnote-{run-in footnote}
\footnote{normal footnote}

You can also restyle footnotes, and even if you tell bigfoot "make
everything run-in", it will not run-in footnotes when this does not
look good because the footnote is several lines long, or if the run-in
does not save space.

Actually these footnotes are \thanks command. Does bigfoot option
"<command>-{text}" works also with \thanks command?
I tried
\author{Me\thanks-{PhD Student and}~ and Him\thanks-{Associate
Professor, Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale, via Eudossiana 18,
Roma, Italy.}
but I get weird output (\thanks footnote text follows immediately after
author names in DVI output).
I also had a look to suffix.dvi but it looks quite complicated!

Just place
\RestyleFootnote{default}{para}
before your titlepage and
\RestyleFootnote{default}{plain}
after it (although as I said already, bigfoot's para style does a
pretty good job of creating good-looking footnote blocks also in the
presence of longer footnotes).

If you really want to have \thanks- as a one-shot access to para
footnotes, you can do this by writing something like

\WithSuffix\def\thanks-#1{\RestyleFootnote{default}{para}\thanks{#1}%
\RestyleFootnote{default}{plain}}
