About us

Our values are rooted in the dissemination of knowledge, and in the inclusion and integration of different fields of knowledge through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, which are capable of combining theoretical considerations with social impact.

The philosophical sciences help to generate broad public value, bringing to the attention of the public, schools and political and cultural institutions the most relevant themes of the philosophical and social debate concerning people, the contexts in which they live, their relationship with new forms of knowledge, and the principles and values underpinning knowledge and action towards others and towards oneself.

Our research, the teaching we provide and our active engagement with society are all conducted with a focus on internationalisation.

We focus on training and developing projects that transcend national borders, in order to educate individuals with a critical mind, competences and flexible, high-level reasoning tools, capable of tackling a wide range of current professional challenges, as well as potential and as yet unforeseen challenges in the near future.
