The University acknowledges that teaching and research are inseparable and that both, where envisaged, are inseparable from support services.” (Art. 1 of the Statute)

VISION

SHARING TO CHANGE AND GROW 

UniTs develops in a particularly stimulating territorial environment: it can count on a stable connection with the city and regional system, ranging from relations with the region's universities and research institutions to assistance activities. 

The lively city context and the geostrategic location in Central Europe allow it to play a hinge role at the continental level, to gain international acknowledgement for the quality of its teaching and achieve significant research results with excellence in all fields.

Precisely because of this peculiarity it intends to be and appear an open, stimulating, innovative environment, able to provide a space for growth and development of students, teachers, researches, technical and administrative staff. 

With this wide-ranging goal UniTs aims to grow as a global and harmonic community focusing on involvement of the entire academic and civic community, on the respect and enhancement of the different inclinations, on the development of a policy of responsibility, on the growth and enhancement of skills and internal projects, on a culture of project and result, spread at all levels.
