Description

How sustainable are Italian universities?

Universities have a responsibility to drive change not only by teaching it, but by practicing it.

In this Podcast, the university sustainability is analyzed through its three fundamental pillars: environmental management (from campus energy efficiency to mobility), social sustainability (gender balance and student inclusion), and economic and financial stability.

Special focus is given to the Third Mission and academic spin-offs: hybrid companies born in laboratories that manage to combine market logic, knowledge dissemination, and a positive impact on the local community.
