Why is important to talk about the Third mission?

The Shifters answers this question. The project says a lot about the importance of the third mission, to such an extent that it is tailor-made on the knowledge of University. With an artistic language it disseminates the research and tells the weight of the third mission in today’s context. It explains the reason for a leap that University has the task of achieving: the transition from theory to practice, the enhancement of university knowledge and finally its expendability. The researches in fact have an outlet, they are not ending in themselves. Indeed, they are born in order to be applied throughout the territory. There is a benefit to public society, a public service that the university makes to the community to increase the value of living together.

It’s a team effort.

The project on the third mission wants to tell these and other facets. From the outward movement to the entrepreneurial drive that arises within the University itself, to the varied presence of interdisciplinary knowledge that characterise the University as a driver of knowledge. Then the final result, the main message, which concerns the relationship between science and society, a process of education to the listening of each other’s needs, finally the participation to the collective wellbeing by not only the professionals and therefore, the creation of a common civic and scientific sense, the awareness and action in other words of all the actors involved.
