Strategic plan. Introduction

Ever since its foundation, UniTo has proved its vocation for research. It has generated positive outcomes at a local and international level, and this has been highlighted by the establishment of the UNITA - Universitas Montium consortium, which brings together six European universities, coordinated by the University of Turin.

The consortium intends to propose a new model for the university of the future, which will contribute to the development of society and local areas at a European level, based on characteristics shared by the universities under the alliance in terms of geographical location, thematic areas of research, teaching innovation and affinity between the languages of the six participating universities.

For our community, which has always been receptive to people's needs, aspirations and well-being, it is also essential that research responds to and develops teaching methods aimed at cultural growth and civil coexistence.

The Strategic Plan is the document in which the university declares how it intends to develop, outlining its strategies, objectives and how it aims to achieve them, in constant dialogue with its stakeholders. The Strategic Plan is the institution's guide for decision-making, starting from the choices made by the Governing body and ending with the Departments, which are called upon to translate the University's strategies into three-year plans. It is a document that shapes the whole organisation and guides its evolution over time and within its own community. The aim is constant improvement.

Evolution is a key word for our university: we have therefore chosen images that bring together the solidity of our ancient buildings and the people who give it life. Evolution also means ever greater interaction locally, with local institutions and businesses, sharing the results of our research through scientific and cultural initiatives. All of this is in line with the UN 2030 Agenda development strategy, the priorities of the EU 2021-2027 Cohesion Policy and the strategic guidelines of the PNRR National Recovery Plan - Next Generation Italy.
