Within the framework established by Law No. 240 of 30 December 2010, which recognises the University as an autonomous public institution responsible for the promotion of knowledge, higher education, and scientific research, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia preserves and enhances its identity, reaffirming the value of independence of thought and action as the foundation of its institutional mission. UniMORE fulfils its public role through the full and integrated exercise of its triple mission: high-quality Research, innovative teaching aimed at educational suc- cess, and a Third Mission capable of generating public value for the region, society, and the health- care system, in line with the principles of quality, inclusion, sustainability, and social responsibility that guide the national and European higher education system. The University’s Mission is built on a consolidated identity, encompassing its history, the composi- tion and quality of its academic and technical-administrative staff, infrastructural excellence, the scientific and technological vocation of the region, and the constant dialogue between different fields of knowledge, recognising respect for the principles of peace, protection of fundamental rights, and environmental sustainability as fundamental elements of university action. From this perspective, UniMORE aims to maintain and strengthen its central role within the Italian higher ed- ucation system as a large, pluralistic University , capable of integrating disciplines and synergis- tically enhancing STEM fields, medical and life sciences, and their dialogue with the humanities and social sciences, thereby contributing to the production of advanced knowledge and the education of conscientious citizens. The University seeks to play a central role in the cultural, scientific, and civic development of the cities and the wider region in which it operates, promoting sustained collaboration with the public healthcare system and with institutional, public, and private actors in care and research, in order to address contemporary complex challenges in an interdisciplinary and responsible manner. UniMORE’s Mission is also expressed through a strong international vocation oriented to- wards the European space, based on the conviction that research and education are essential tools to strengthen a sense of belonging to Europe and to support its founding values of democ- racy, ethics, human rights, and equitable and sustainable development. Within this framework, the University actively participates in European and non-European programmes for basic, applied, and industrial research, as well as initiatives dedicated to advanced education, sustainability, peace, and the development of younger generations. UniMORE situates its mission within the national ecosystem of research and advanced edu- cation, participating responsibly and proactively in the Italian university community, in CRUI (Con- ference of Italian University Rectors), in regional networks, and in partnerships with institutions of longstanding cultural and educational tradition, thereby strengthening systemic capacity and inter- institutional cooperation. The University recognises its network of campuses as a strategic asset, requiring collabora- tion, balance, and equity between Modena and Reggio Emilia, and enabling the widespread en- hancement of regional resources through the engagement of public and private institutions, foun- dations, the productive sector, the third sector, and local authorities. At the heart of UniMORE’s mission is the holistic development of students , understood as a shared educational process that unfolds through presence, dialogue, and daily engagement in the places of knowledge, and for which the active participation of the entire university community con- stitutes an essential condition to ensure the quality of the learning experience, individual well-be- ing, and the enrichment of social and cultural life. Bridging tradition and innovation, UniMORE positions itself as a link between eras and disciplines, a place where the memory of knowledge meets the creative force of research, moving forward con- sciously into the new millennium with the conviction that only knowledge that is rooted, wide- spread, and shared can generate lasting progress and public value.
