Public Engagement

Roma Tre University regards itself as a civic university, deeply committed to social responsibility and public engagement. We believe that knowledge is a shared public asset that should benefit society at largeopenaire.eu. Public engagement at Roma Tre is fundamentally a two-way dialogue between the University and the wider Link identifier #identifier__87837-1communityucl.ac.uk, ensuring mutual exchange and growth. Through our outreach initiatives, we strive to share knowledge as a public good and to foster civic responsibility in all our Link identifier #identifier__140922-2endeavoursie.edu.

Disseminating Knowledge to Society

As part of its core mission, the University actively disseminates academic knowledge to the public in accessible ways. Our researchers and educators regularly communicate scientific findings and scholarly insights through public lectures, open seminars, and community workshops. We also embrace cultural initiatives that bring learning to life – from science festivals and museum partnerships to literary events – making advanced knowledge accessible to everyone. This commitment to knowledge-sharing ensures that the benefits of research and scholarship extend beyond campus, enriching public discourse and lifelong learning in the community.

Collaboration with Schools and Institutions

Roma Tre University works hand-in-hand with schools, community organisations, and other institutions to broaden educational opportunities. We collaborate with primary and secondary schools to inspire younger generations, providing mentorship, resources, and joint projects that connect classroom learning with university research. In partnership with local and national bodies – including libraries, cultural centres, and government agencies – we develop programmes that address societal needs, from environmental sustainability to digital literacy. These collaborations strengthen the bond between the University and society, aligning academic expertise with the real-world challenges faced by our city and nation.

Inclusion, Culture, and Civic Responsibility

Our public engagement also prioritises social inclusion and cultural enrichment. The University leads projects aimed at widening participation in education, reaching out to under-represented and vulnerable groups to ensure that higher learning is within everyone’s reach. We organise public events and cultural programmes that celebrate diversity and promote dialogue – such as art exhibitions, theatre performances, and historical commemorations – inviting the community to share in the intellectual and cultural life of the University. Through these activities, Roma Tre actively promotes civic responsibility, encouraging our students and staff to be engaged citizens and partnering with volunteers and civic organisations on initiatives for the common good. We are committed to making all our outreach activities accessible, removing barriers (physical, economic, or social) so that everyone can take part. In doing so, the University underscores its role in treating knowledge as a common good and fostering an open, ongoing conversation with the broader community, for the benefit of all.

Engagement with the Labour Market and Professional Communities

Roma Tre University fosters strong and structured connections with the labour market, facilitating the transition from academic study to professional life through tailored placement services, active collaboration with professional bodies, and dedicated support for students and graduates. The University works closely with professional associations and regulatory organisations to align educational pathways with industry standards, while also promoting entrepreneurship and self-employment through initiatives that support the creation of start-ups and innovative ventures. This integrated approach ensures that graduates are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and professional networks needed to succeed in a competitive and evolving employment landscape.
