UniTo’s strategy is built around the PEOPLE in the academic community. Students, teaching and technical-administrative staff must be aware that they are part of a cohesive community. They are all entitled to the best conditions to study and to grow culturally and professionally. They are all involved in the promotion of the transparency, responsibility and cultural, social and civil development of which the University is the driving force.

UniTo intends to be inclusive and to foster the positive values of difference and plurality. It pursues equality which is never a levelling down but a fight against discrimination. This is the only way to guarantee everyone access to and success in higher education and work. UniTo aims to be a point of reference and a concrete example of good practices even outside the academic world. First of all, it is a top UniTo priority to further strengthen its commitment to gender equality. This will be done through the drafting of the University Gender Report, a document that analyses and evaluates the administration’s political choices and economic and financial commitments from a gender perspective. The Gender Balance will enable the implementation of gender-neutral policies, thus guaranteeing equal opportunities for all. In order to spread the culture of inclusiveness and anti-discrimination within the academic community at all levels, generating positive externalities locally, the University intends to carry out training and awareness-raising activities aimed not only at the UniTo community, but at local inhabitants too. A culture of equality is not just a wish for the future, but it must be reflected in the day-to-day life of the university. This is why UniTo is committed to helping people in situations of particular hardship, offering them the best conditions for study and work.
