Culture, dialogue and Responsibility

Knowlegde enhancement is a key tool for improving people’s lives and building a more informed, sustainable and inclusive future.

The university of Bologna promotes an open, multi-directional dialogue with various stakeholders, fostering processes of co-design and active participation, through collaboration with organisations and institutions, associations and businesses, communities and citizens.

Research, teaching, and innovation driven by our academic community are strengthened through engagement with diverse knowledge, experiences, and perspectives, contributing to the co-creation of solutions and shared value for the benefit of society.

By listening to key players in society, we are able to identify needs and develop shared responses to generate shared value and social impact.
The Valorisation of Knowledge represents therefore the framework through which the University strengthens its relationship with society, consolidating ties with local stakeholders and promoting forms of collaboration capable of generating public value.

We collaborate with organisations and businesses

These collaborations involve the preparation and conduct of statistical analyses, the drafting of reports and the design of sampling plans.

The specific requirements for these analyses vary from case to case, ranging from, for example, evaluation of the impact of policies or business decisions to analysing biomedical experiments.

We offer competence in the design and execution of data analysis, drafting and interpretation of reporting, and the application of advanced statistical models and techniques for evaluating interventions or market actions, with a focus on the accurate study of complex phenomena. For example, models for forecasting data relating to: tourism; financial phenomena, including those associated with the ‘green’ sector; and demographic processes linked to the impact of an ageing population on the workforce.

Statistical literacy for society

One of the needs our department addresses is teaching people how to interpret data correctly, for example regarding demographic trends, migration, birth rates and ageing.

To this end, we offer consultancy services and public outreach activities, such as the publication of our Bulletin.
