Third Mission/Social Impact strategic planning

The University, as an educational and research body, considers direct interaction with society and the territory to be of great importance through the Third Mission/Social Impact which allows the valorisation and transfer of knowledge to a non-academic audience, in a perspective of growing openness to the socio-economic context in which it operates. The Third Mission/Social Impact project intervention areas identified by the University include inclusion, educational poverty, equal opportunities, active citizenship and sustainability.

The strategic lines for the three-year period 2022-2024 aim in particular at increasing the University's impact on the territory through actions aimed at concretely contributing to harmonious social, cultural and economic development in compliance with sustainability paradigms.

Specifically, the Università degli studi Internazionali di Roma – UNINT intends to pursue the four strategic objectives described below:

• strengthen the interaction between the University and the social and productive fabric;
• develop start-up and spin-off initiatives;
• promote the socio-cultural and socio-economic development of the country with particular attention to sustainability issues;
• encourage the transfer of knowledge that is particularly useful in the labour market to high school students.

The actions aimed at achieving the identified strategic objectives and the indicators for monitoring actions are described in detail in the three-year strategic plan.
