In 2017, there were only two courses, but toward the end of last year, the dream that had become a goal became a reality with the establishment of the Department of Engineering at the University of Sassari. This morning, the event "Engineering, Innovation, Business – A Partnership for the Future of Northern Sardinia" opened in the Aula Magna of the University of Sassari. This event was an open discussion between universities, businesses, and institutions to imagine and plan the future of the region.
"A moment of celebration after so many years," remarked Rector Gavino Mariotti. The new Department of Engineering is called upon to play an increasingly central role in the region's growth through the development of new skills and the transfer of knowledge to the business world.
Not only were the degree programs presented, but there was also space for contributions from members of the steering committee, who will share the perspective of the manufacturing sector and help outline new perspectives for collaboration between universities and businesses.
The day concluded with a round table discussion entitled "The new Department of Engineering and its surroundings: how to develop the best synergies in the next three years."
