Third mission
In addition to its two key functions – scientific research and education – the University engages in Third Mission activities aimed at spreading culture, knowledge and transferring research results outside the academic community, thus contributing to social and cultural growth.
The University intends to be an economic and cultural engine for the local area, fostering progress and innovation, promoting dialogue and interaction with citizens, the economic system and public and private institutions.
In the "knowledge society", we will leverage our multidisciplinary skills to create synergies, and promote collaborations and exchanges both internally and externally.
A University network oversees the processes of enhancement and monitoring of Third Mission activities.
The application and transfer of knowledge and technologies produced by the University: commissioned research, patents, and spin-offs.
The museum system, the archaeological excavations, the libraries, collections and archives, publishing activity and the beautiful Ca 'Granda.
Public engagement, public health, sustainability, social commitment, relations with companies: the significant relationship between the University and the territory.
Lezione-spettacolo che ripercorre la nascita e l’eredità del Manifesto di Ventotene scritto nel 1941 da Altiero Spinelli, Ernesto Rossi e il contributo di Eugenio Colorni durante il confino. Un testo che, nel pieno della Seconda guerra mondiale, gettava le basi per un’Europa libera, unita e pacificata fondata su cooperazione, democrazia, rispetto dei diritti fondamentali. Piero Graglia, docente della Statale e curatore dell’incontro, guiderà il pubblico in un commento storico al Manifesto.
L’iconica Minerva di Lucio Fontana, l’opera "Senza titolo, 2005" di Jannis Kounellis e l’imponente Sant’Ambrogio in gesso di Adolfo Wildt sono alcune delle opere d’arte moderna e contemporanea proposte in questo percorso guidato de “I giovedì in Ca’ Granda”, alla scoperta della storica sede dell’Università Statale di Milano. Raduno un quarto d’ora prima dell’inizio del tour.
