The Third Mission of the Universities dates back to the European Conference in Lisbon in 2000, which gave Europe the strategic objective of growth based on knowledge, research and innovation, and was added to the traditional role played by the Universities in fields of higher education and research, to push universities to build a dialogue with society (see Green paper. Fostering and Measuring "Third Mission" in Higher Education Institutions). In this perspective, the DSCG is committed to communicating and disseminating knowledge and technologies through a direct relationship with the territory and all its actors. The DSCG has established a departmental Third Mission Commission, which coordinates the Third Mission activities of the Department in connection with the Third Mission Office of Unimore.
