In light of the international debate on the role of universities in the field of knowledge and their relationship with local communities, as well as ANVUR’s guidelines on enhancing interactions between universities and society—referred to as the University’s Public Engagement—the PhD program in Humanities aims to promote activities directed towards society and the territory. 

Recognizing that disseminating research results is a core objective of the activities related to Public Engagement, the PhD in Humanities seeks to foster dialogue not only with the national and international academic community, but also with society and local communities. This is achieved through the organization of seminars, conferences, and events involving faculty members and students, both within the Department and in collaboration with other institutions (public and private entities, associations, schools, research centers, etc.). 

To this end, doctoral candidates are encouraged throughout their program to participate in—and/or organize—events that position them as active contributors to the dissemination of research beyond academic circles.
