The aim of the Third Mission is to bridge the gap between the world of research and citizens, bringing the results of scientific activity to the attention of the community. In this context, the Department of Law promotes and actively participates in the debate on issues of particular political and civil relevance and in the dissemination of legal knowledge through public engagement activities.
Third Mission initiatives take the form of meetings with the public (debates, conferences, seminars, round tables), activities aimed at schools, the publication of articles and informative materials, the organization of public events, exhibitions, or shows, as well as the participation of Department faculty in radio and television broadcasts, hearings at national and European institutions, and the activities of international organizations.
