(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).

UNIGHT LINGUISITIC LANDSCAPE – WHAT LANGUAGE DOES TORINO SPEAK?

11 July 2023 / in Events, News / by

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.
Thursday 6 July 2023, from 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. – SAA University Hall (via Ventimiglia 115) and online

High Apprenticeship Specialisation Courses, set up by the Law, Computer Science and Management departments, are an excellent opportunity to acquire specific skills and knowledge in professional fields that are in high demand in the labour market.
Thanks to the apprenticeship, the students of the specialised course will have the opportunity to work, from the very beginning of the programme, at major companies, applying what they have learnt during their training.
Enrolment deadline: 5 July 2 p.m. on the website https://www.unito.it/…/open-day-master-alto-apprendistato

UNIVERSITY OF TURIN: CURRICULUM AND EXAMS FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023

1 August 2022 / in Events, News / by

The current academic year is about to come to an end and the new one is right around the corner, while we are experiencing a more serene but still very volatile phase of the pandemic.
Some new guidelines concerning the teaching methods for the new academic year 2022/2023 have recently been approved by the University of Turin. These guidelines provide a first look at how the study activities will be organized in the coming year.

The first important decision regarding teaching methods is the fact that classes will take place at university, to encourage active participation of students during classes and foster social relations
among students.

• Remote learning and streaming services will be made available exclusively for make-up classes, and only for a limited percentage of the total amount of teaching hours (max 20% of the total number of hours).
• However, laboratory activities and all the other practical activities are excluded from remote learning and streaming services.
• From the beginning of October, unless the government rules otherwise, the exams will also be held exclusively at university, with the sole exception of students who have testepositive for Covid-19 or feel physically debilitated because of it.
More information regarding the matriculation and enrolment processes will be published in the coming weeks, whereas all deadlines will be set one at a time.
