The launch of the PhD in “expert of customised projects to carry out the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (CRPD)” is scheduled for March 2024 and has been set up by the Philosophy and
Education Sciences department of the University of Turin.

It is the first university PhD in Italy aimed at educating experts in customised projects in support of people with disabilities, which observes the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities
(CRPD). The new study path, 60 credits (CFUs) and lasting 18 months, has 35 positions and is financed by the association Time2, which has been founded by Antonella and Manuela Lavazza. The PhD will cost € 2,700, € 2,000 of which are guaranteed by the association.

The PhD was launched after the approval of the law 227/21, entitled “Delegation of powers to the government in the matter of disability”, which promises a significant turn towards the conquest of the full citizenship by people with disabilities. By means of this law, Italy is preparing itself to launch a deep reform of services addressed to people with disabilities, which aims to successfully overcome the welfare culture, conservation and institutionalisation and to allow people to exercise the rights described in the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (CRPD).

On Friday, 7 July 2023 at 5.30 p.m. in Viale Ottavio Mai, the University of Turin will launch a citizen science project with the aim of mapping which languages – besides Italian – are spoken in Turin. All citizens are invited to take part in a real research project to define – through photographs of road signs, store signs and writings in public places, the linguistic landscape of Turin.

The visual testimonies provided by the participants and shared on Firstlife web platform, https://unightlls.firstlife.org/wall developed by the Computer Science Department of the University of Turin, will enable us to outline the linguistic and
cultural profile of our city.
How many and which languages are used in Turin, and in which particular area? Which areas are monolingual and which multilingual? A scientific committee, consisting of professors at the University of Turin, will subsequently analyse the data collected from various points of view – sociolinguistic, socio-political, educational, geographical, economic – and will present the results during the next European Researchers’ Night on 29 and 30 September 2023 at the Giardini Reali.
The initiative is part of the UNIGHT project involving Turin – for the second year, during Europe’s largest research event – as well as Covilhã, Pau, Chambery and Timisoara, and their respective UNITA Alliance partner universities.
The European Researchers’ Night has always promoted society’s participation in the research process: during the event there are many activities proposed by the University of Turin and Politecnico di Torino as well as by local research centres that focus on the scientific contribution that people can make. In particular, citizen science projects rely on the collaboration with citizens to collect data for a mutual
exchange of knowledge.

This event is part of the Luigi Einaudi Campus’ 10-year anniversary celebrations High Apprenticeship Specialisation Courses: open day Open Day of free High Apprenticeship Specialisation Courses organised by the
University of Turin and managed by Corep Torino.
