Third Mission Activity
The Third Mission gives back to the region and the organisations within it, whether public or private, the scientific knowledge and wisdom accumulated by research activities; the skills transferred through teaching activities therefore represent the authoritative point of convergence of the two central missions of the Department of Economics and Management.
Furthermore, the research activities, agreements and conventions enable job placement and public engagement activities to be enhanced.
Technology Transfer
The Department of Economics and Management is constantly committed to finding study and research solutions which are able to significantly impact the local area.
Numerous collaborations with public and private organisations are in place in order to apply innovative solutions which have an impact on the industrial and economic dynamics.
In 2022 the first spin-off devoted to the agri-food sector, Deeply Agriffod srl, was established, and other study and research activities are expected to become real businesses in the future.
Strategic collaborations - collaborations with universities/businesses/research organisations
The Department of Economics and Management participates in national training, research and Third Mission initiatives thanks to its links with other universities and research centres.
In the long term, it participates in collaboration agreements of specific interest on the themes of research and development, technological innovation and development of more advanced professional profiles. These are collaborations with public and private companies, aimed at reaching specific goals, and which may result in dedicated funding for scholarships, doctorates, summer schools or joint projects.
Planning these agreements is linked to the Department of Economics and Management’s strong ability to create highly-qualified professional and research figures of high interest to the economic world.
