Co-creation of Innovation

Dialogue and collaboration with institutions and businesses across the region play a crucial role in promoting shared processes of social and responsible innovation, with particular attention to inclusion and the improvement of the quality of life for residents and visitors in Tuscany.

The University of Pisa is actively engaged in the co-creation of regional projects and in developing an innovation ecosystem that involves major public and private stakeholders, in close dialogue with international institutions and university alliances.
This collaborative relationship, which is essential to the University’s educational objectives, also meets the needs expressed by public administrations, third-sector organisations and local business associations.
