Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna participates in "Università Svelate", the National University Day, an initiative conceived by the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) with the aim of fostering open dialogue between universities, families, and future students. Through events, workshops, and discussions, this special occasion highlights the crucial role universities play in national development and in promoting social cohesion.

The 2025 edition places a special focus on university cities, recognizing them as privileged spaces for interaction between academia and the local community. As hubs for knowledge production and dissemination, these cities serve as platforms for innovation, benefiting society as a whole. In this context, the collaboration between CRUI and ANCI is strengthened to make university spaces increasingly sustainable, dynamic, and attractive, to the benefit of both the student community and the wider public.

These itineraries will offer visitors the opportunity to explore the history and transformation of the School, emphasizing the role of research and education as a bridge between the past and the future.
