Public Engagement destination at the University of Padua

The Aula Magna of Palazzo del Bo in Padua hosts the assembly-event on 9 and 10 November APEnet , Italian network of universities and research institutions for public engagement, of which the University of Sassari is part and is chaired by Pier Andrea Serra, Vice Rector of the Third Mission of Uniss.

From European recommendations to connections with social innovation, the event explores the role of public engagement in the shared construction of public value. An opportunity for discussion and networking to strengthen the dialogue between research and society and its impact on communities.

APEnet is a space for discussion, study and planning of tools and actions, for sharing and strengthening the knowledge and skills necessary to promote the important cultural change that today sees universities and research bodies as protagonists for an "inclusive growth" of the country through listening, dialogue and collaboration with society.

The conference, opened by greetings from the rector of the University of Padua Daniela Mapelli, takes place in two sessions: "European recommendations and guidelines on Public Engagement" and "Public Engagement, impact and social economy".
