Università e Terza Missione. Riflessioni su un innovativo progetto di formazione e sostegno a favore dei tutori volontari di minori stranieri non accompagnati in Piemonte.
No full textL’articolo analizza criticamente l’esperienza piemontese di formazione e sostegno a tutori volontari di Minori stranieri non accompagnati (Msna) evidenziando alcuni aspetti salienti nel quadro della Terza Missione e del Public Engagement delle università. Tramite questi diversi tipi di iniziative, infatti, gli atenei contribuiscono attivamente alla vita della società, con importanti ricadute sociali e culturali (Agenzia nazionale di valutazione del sistema universitario e della ricerca, Anvur, 2018). La Garante per l’infanzia della Regione Piemonte ha attribuito all’Università di Torino e, dal maggio 2018, anche a quella del Piemonte Orientale, la responsabilità scientifica e organizzativa della formazione degli aspiranti tutori volontari, delle attività di sostegno ai tutori nominati e dell’aggiornamento sui temi della tutela volontaria rivolto ai professionisti dei servizi sociali territoriali e degli operatori delle comunità che accolgono Msna. Il progetto che è stato realizzato può essere considerato un buon esempio di responsabilità sociale del mondo accademico che interviene concretamente nel territorio locale e sulle questioni migratorie. Può essere considerato un unicum a livello nazionale e forse un modello che potrebbe essere replicato in altri territori. L'articolo prende in esame la formazione, avvenuta o in corso, e il tipo di supporto ideato dalle università piemontesi per i tutori volontari di Msna. Inoltre, mira a indicare come, attraverso l'interdisciplinarietà, l’intreccio tra la teoria e la pratica e la collaborazione interistituzionale, gli atenei superano il ruolo di service nelle loro attività di Terza Missione. Pur con alcune criticità, si alimenta così un circolo virtuoso, che potenzia la reciprocità tra reti di accoglienza, ricerca e didattica universitaria. L' impatto positivo della esperienza universitaria piemontese nel territorio è confermata da alcuni dati: al 6 marzo 2019 erano 527 gli aspiranti tutori formati o in formazione; 318 i nominativi presenti nell’elenco presso il Tribunale per i minorenni di Torino; un centinaio i tutori nominati partecipanti ai gruppi di accompagnamento.
ABSTRACT
The article critically analyzes the experience of the Piedmont region in training and supporting voluntary guardians of Unaccompanied Minors (UM), highlighting aspects relevant to Universities’ ‘Third Mission’ and Public Engagement. Through these types of activities, universities actively contribute to society in various ways, with activities and initiatives that have important social and cultural effects (Anvur, 2018). The Piedmont Ombudsman for Children delegated to the University of Turin and, from May 2018, also to the University of Eastern Piedmont, the scientific and organizational responsibility for training and support of those wishing to be voluntary guardians as well as training of those selected to be tutors, and updating personnel in local social services and care facilities that host UM on the responsibilities of voluntary tutors. This was a good example of the social responsibility of Academia intervening concretely for the local territory and in migration issues. This seems to have been a first within Italy so it is of interest as a model, which might be replicated in other places. The article examines the training, which has taken place or is in course, and the kind of support designed by Piedmont Universities for UM voluntary guardians. Moreover, we highlight how, through interdisciplinarity, the interweaving between theoretical and practical and inter-institutional collaboration, universities overcome the role of “service” in their third mission activities. Despite some problems, a virtuous circle was created, enhancing reciprocity between institutions dealing with the inclusion of migrants, university research and education. The positive impact of the experience of Piedmont Universities in the area is confirmed by data: by March 6 2019, there were 527 potential guardians trained or in training; 318 were the names on the voluntary guardians list of the Turin Juvenile Court; around one hundred guardians are participating in support groups
Urban Regeneration: “Town”, “Gown”, and “Student Housing”.
No full textNella contemporaneità, la relazione fra residenzialità universitaria e rigenerazione urbana appare sempre più stretta e virtuosa. Realizzare all’interno del contesto urbano questa forma temporanea di abitare è ormai diventata un’opportunità per rilanciare la dimensione economica, sociale e ambientale di parti degradate di città e per rinsaldare il legame secolare tra spazi della conoscenza e spazi urbani. Un’opzione che oggi richiede residenze universitarie innovative, capaci di rispondere ai bisogni di una pluralità di utenti e promuovere nuove dinamiche urbane. Queste strutture devono diventare un’infrastruttura inclusiva, libera da quella concezione monogama che le vuole portatrici di una sola finalità; un’architettura pragmatico-utopistica
capace di creare luoghi sul piano sociale, economico e ambientale, parte integrante delle politiche urbane trasformative, utili per introdurre nella città funzioni come il Coliving, Coworking, Fab-Lab, ecc
Internazionalizzazione e Ospitalità Universitaria in Italia: le Dimensioni del Fenomeno
No full textIn the last decade, the Italian University has been involved in an important and
articulated process of transformation. The search for excellence, innovative
teaching and the third mission are just some of the objectives of this
unavoidable process of change, which is still in progress today.
Within this transformative framework, the internationalization of the
Universities’ education offer, plays a strategic and transversal role becoming
one of the most challenging areas, even in term of engaging the European
horizon and connecting the most prestigious and listed international
universities in the world rankings.
This is a rapidly growing phenomenon justified by two irreversible aspects. The
first relates to the extraordinary success of the Europeanisation of higher
education in the EU, supported by a series of specific projects and funding to
support mobility. The second is the awareness of the global dimension of higher
education. The growing demand is manifested in massive migratory dynamics,
which pose a strategic challenge to all universities and offer new opportunities,
which are not limited to the European sphere alone. As universities compete to
attract more and more students from other geographical contexts, proposing
ambitious English language training programs, double degrees, international
study and research program exchanges, the impact of internationalization on
the student population involved in university hospitality processes has not yet
been adequately recognized, addressed, and studied.
This contribution, reporting some of the results of a research, currently
developed in Politecnico of Milan, covers the following objectives through an
analysis of the demographic evolution of the university population present in our educational system, observed in the last ten years:
1. mapping and critically analyzing the phenomenon of internationalization in
training courses, with the aim of restoring the national picture of current
trends in the mobility of the university population;
2. return a cognitive picture of the impact of this process on models of public
university hospitality.
Finally, the paper proposes critical reflections in support of the development of
more open, inclusive, and continuous hospitality models that can help to
adequately support international students in mobility and help to implement
the processes of attraction related to knowledge
Strategie di Riuso e Remanufacturing per la Gestione Circolare delle Residenze Universitarie verso il Raggiungimento di Obiettivi di Sostenibilità
No full textIn recent years, the diffusion of concepts and practices of the circular economy, together with the various initiatives of the European Union, is evidence of a growing interest in reuse and remanufacturing approaches for extending the useful life of resources. The implementation of these strategies in the construction sector is an ongoing process that necessarily requires a revision of the traditional approaches to the building design as well as of the current models of management and use of buildings. In this context, universities - poles of attraction for a plurality of stakeholders - represent a fertile ground for experimentation and validation of circular practices. In light of these premises, through the reading of innovative case studies, the paper explores the potential - outlining main trends - of University Residences as "hubs" able to promote the development of new systemic and transformative solutions towards circularity

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
