Events - Universa

 

CULTURE AND KNOWLEDGE
For the first time, the University of Padova presents a coordinated year-long programme of events offering an organized and modulated balance between permanent exhibitions and festivals focusing on different themes of cultural and social interest, highly topical in certain cases.
The programme includes activities dedicated to culture and the communication of sciences, disclosure of top level research, history of the University's artistic, cultural and museum heritage, and discussions on urgent questions of the day. Among its objectives are the interplay of languages and skills and an interdisciplinary approach to questions of knowledge.
