We are a young and dynamic university with a long tradition behind us.

Our values

We are a public university committed to protecting scientific research on people’s well-being and quality of life, focusing on the contributions that physical activity and sports can provide to them. We believe in theimportance of the development of critical knowledge, science and culture of which sports-understood according to the dictates of the European Commission as physical activity aimed at the well-being and social inclusion of people in a context of playfulness and competition-is an integral part for the improvement and development of our society.

We are a university that has made sports and its values the inspiring model of its philosophy. In sports, both individual and team, respect, dedication to the task of achieving excellence, merit, team spirit and innovation count.

Respect

For us, diversity represents a fundamental value that we respect and protect. We offer equal opportunities to all our students. We protect and offer forms of help and support to disadvantaged students and those who, as athletes, have honored our country by achieving relevant results in national and international competitions. At our university, students are at the center of the education process, and we constantly strive hard to provide them with a quality education that can help them enter the world of sports and personal wellness professions.

Excellence

We promote and foster a commitment to excellence on the part of our faculty and technical and administrative staff, ensuring that they can achieve ever higher levels of quality in teaching, research and service delivery to our students. We promote national and international research through high-level collaborations and partnerships, fostering interdisciplinarity and constant dialogue among sports science experts.

Merit

As in sports, in our Athenaeum we reward those who have been committed and have achieved results that have made our institution grow and improve. We reward deserving students, their commitment to study and in their ability to build their own future so that they can be an example and a reminder for others to strive. In addition, we promote the continuing education of our teaching and technical-administrative staff to improve the quality of our University.

Team spirit

We are a community of people who want to grow together and improve in order to achieve, with humility-as one must have in order to be true champions in sports, always challenging oneself, higher and higher goals. We are a community that grows and is conscious of improving only as its members grow and improve.

Innovation

We are a community of people always striving for innovation, committed to sharing the knowledge gained and scientific achievements with the local area and society. We want to share our values, our knowledge by transmitting our philosophy outside our institution to help our country grow and be more and more competitive in the context of cooperation and social and cultural integration with other countries in the European Union. For this reason, we are committed to the territory with events, cultural initiatives, conferences, seminars, training and promotion activities and forms of technology transfer to help our society grow and develop, giving back to it what it has invested in us by providing its economic and human resources.
