All subjects are interesting Find out why

In the same way, today innovation is the result of continuous hybridisation between different competences and knowledge, helping to outline sustainable, tailored solutions, considering all the aspects in play.

Absolutely all areas of knowledge can play a leading role in providing inputs to, and being part of, business projects: from culture to the arts, from the environment to tourism, from health to education, from technologies to industry.

Find your inspiration by taking part in one of the initiatives on offer. You can exploit your experience and obtain useful results for helping the whole community of teachers and researchers to grow.

This is because they are considered key factors for sustainability, for disseminating innovation and facilitating the development of society.

Whether or not you wish to set up your own business, developing these skills can help to foster a pro-active attitude to seeking the best opportunities. These skills may be fundamental for a student during their university career, helping to develop a flexible, pro-active approach to managing projects in the best way and obtaining results in any disciplinary area.

Your contribution as a teacher or researcher, naturally predisposed to innovative thought, can make the difference for disseminating these fundamental elements.

Taking part in the initiatives proposed can help to identify ideas that, with the right knowledge and competences, can lead to teaching skills where knowledge and competences are transferred along with an active approach to innovation.

Developing research in an innovative key, ensuring that it can develop with a view to impacting the market in fact leads to positive returns for the University where it originates. In particular, the Department plays a key role, if we think in terms of:

• Enhancing the competences of the related Department

each department is the expression of a constellation of knowledge and competences which, where organically stimulated, can produce dynamics and depth for all areas of research and development

• Added value in terms of market experience

which can help to foster further research works based on the evidence emerging from this experience

• Returns in terms of research and partnerships

the process of defining and launching a spin-off on the market produces a broad, cohesive network, open to new partnerships and new research actions

• Enhancement for assessment purposes

a spin-off is a highly relevant element for university assessment and self-assessment, significantly impacting the research and Third mission indexes

• Employment

the research and implementation activities linked to a spin-off produce positive and measurable effects in terms of employment, guaranteeing highly qualified jobs for researchers and research fellows.

Take part in the initiatives proposed, and you will find new ideas for new projects, meeting teachers and researchers who you can talk with and, possibly, create a work team:
