UNIGHT LINGUISITIC LANDSCAPE – WHAT LANGUAGE DOES TORINO SPEAK?

7 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.

This result was achieved in spite of the fact that 124 new universities, which were not listed last year, entered the ranking for the first time.

This score is based on the number of citations in scientific publications written by the researchers at a particular university. The Citation per Faculty score puts
the Politecnico in 236th place; this means that the university has moved up 23 places compared to last year.

The Politecnico also moved up 17 places in the ranking of foreign students, confirming its international appeal, and as far as the academic reputation is concerned, it moved up another

15 June 2021 / in Events, News / by

Politecnico di Torino, Università di Torino, Università del Piemonte Oientale, Università della Valle d’Aosta – Université de la Vallée d’Aoste and Università di Scienze Gastronomiche di Pollenzo have recently signed an agreement for the reciprocity of library services.

The commitment is to guarantee reciprocal access to library facilities, in accordance with the rules in force in each university. Users will be identified by presenting their university ID card or “smart card”. Thanks to the agreement, therefore, students, teachers and technical staff of each university will be able, free of charge and under a reciprocal regime, to use many of the services offered by all the libraries of the signatory universities: from home loan to
photocopying and printing services from the Internet – in compliance with the regulations in force – to inter-library services, that is the possibility of receiving at one own library volumes and copies of articles or parts of volumes owned by other libraries. Users from all the universities will also be guaranteed access to the bibliographic and documentary heritage of the universities, with the proviso that users will only be able to access electronic resources from the computer workstations available on the premises of the libraries hosting them.

It will also be possible to use the computer workstations and surf the web to carry out bibliographic research and access documentary resources, selected in line with the mission and objectives of study, research and documentation of the libraries.
The universities also undertake to cooperate in organising refresher and training initiatives for staff and in implementing further joint inter-library projects.
In this way, the foundations are laid for the implementation of projects aimed at innovating strategies and practices concerning both digital library services and the promotion of open access to cultural and scientific resources.

Finally, in the medium and long term, the wish of the promoting universities is to collaborate in the construction and enhancement of knowledge through the culture of books – paper and/or digital – in order to contribute to the social, cultural and economic development of the territory, thus favouring the achievement of common objectives in the field of Third Mission.
