Unimi 2040 project group
Set up by Rector Elio Franzini in 2019, the UNIMI 2040 project group has the task of identifying potential scenarios for training, research and governance of a large multidisciplinary academic institution such as the University of Milan.
Our goal is to encourage our academic community to reflect on recent trends and future challenges, with a focus on the changes underway in Europe.
We will promote dialogue with universities and other institutions engaging in the field of education and research. Our benchmark will include the best Italian universities comparable to the University of Milan as well as our partners in the League of European Research Universities (LERU).
The Group has set a multi-year work programme including seminars and reports on "frontier" themes in the field of higher education, research and innovation.
Some of the reports and texts discussed in the seminars will be published in the Unimi 2040 Discussion Papers series and made available to the entire academic community.
