In addition to the two fundamental objectives of teaching and research, the Vanvitelli University promotes the so-called Third Mission, an opening towards the socio-economic context, through valorisation and knowledge transfer, contributing to the civil, social and economic development of the country and, in particular, of its own territory. (Article 1 paragraph 3 of the Statute)
The Third Mission takes shape in many ways. In particular, a distinction can be made between
- Third Mission enhancing research;
- Third Mission developing social, educational and cultural activities.
In the first case, the Third Mission aims to enhance Research, through the promotion of training activities for innovative entrepreneurship and the protection of intellectual property, the guide for the establishment of academic Spin-offs and innovative Start-ups, support for applied research through the promotion of agreements with companies, administrations and institutions.
In the second case, public goods are produced that increase the well-being of society. These assets can have social, educational, cultural or awareness content: from exhibitions, to cultural events, to conferences open to the community, society and the territory.
