The “Third Mission” over time

ANALYSIS

• Politecnico di Torino has always recognized the fundamental importance of its role in the activities related to the "third mission" of a university and actively supported the development of Piemonte and Italy by cooperating with industry in the different phases of our history
• It is necessary to continue along the path that has seen the concept of "technology transfer" alongside that of "sharing and co-generating of knowledge", from the starting idea of a university campus to the Cittadella Politecnica and, nowadays, to the open, permeable and inclusive "Platform University"

DECISIONS

Two core strategic objectives:

• to increase the resources available for the University, in a medium to long-term perspective, especially with the aim of consolidating the relationships
• to contribute to the development of our local territory and country (firms, public bodies, considered both as stakeholders and policy-makers)

Two main directions:

• the strengthening of the innovation value chain
• working in fields that are still relatively unexplored by our University, dealing with cultural promotion, communication and public engagement
