A fundamental objective of the Centre is our commitment to third mission activities, which underscore our responsibility to our territory and citizens. We work in partnership with individual businesses, as well as public institutions, and professional and business associations, to support their sustainability ambitions.
This is made possible by the transfer of skills and knowledge through training, workshops, and summer schools, by collaborations with businesses, NGOs and public institutions, and by partnerships with cultural institutions, business associations and events. Additionally, we serve as speakers and panelists at events, contributing to the dissemination of knowledge. We also regularly write or contribute to articles for newspapers, engaging the public on sustainability topics.
The Competence Centre oversees the co-management of the research platform Alliance in Research and Teaching for Sustainability, which aims to consolidate expertise and foster discussion on SDG-related topics in South Tyrol.
