• draw up sustainability plans and balance sheets.

The training course is realised in collaboration with Demetra Special Purpose Vehicle srls, which carries out consultancy activities for organisations and companies and coordinates training projects for both public and private bodies.

The deadline for enrolment in the master’s course is extended to 28 February 2025.

Course enrolment is active throughout the academic year, and future students can choose to enrol in the traditional way, in part-time mode or enrol in two different courses in the same academic year.It is possible to apply for the recognition of entry credits in the case of examinations or placements undertaken at other universities.The study model of IUL University provides lessons that can be used entirely online to allow students to reconcile study, work and other daily commitments. Students can access video lectures through the IUL training platform, at any time and from any location, and are supported by high quality teaching staff and continuous assistance from specialised tutors. Examinations are in-person and can be taken at one of the university’s numerous locations throughout the country.This academic year sees the launch of three-year degree courses in Educational Sciences and Techniques and Services for Children (class L-19), with a pathway dedicated to the 0-3 age group, in Motor Sciences, Practice and Management of Sporting Activities

 (class L-22), in Psychological Sciences of Human Resources, Organisations and Business (class L-24), in Economics, Management and International Markets (class L-33) and Innovative, Multimedia and Digital Communication (class L-20). Also included in the training offer catalogue is the Master’s degree course in Educational Innovation and Lifelong Learning in Adult Education in National and International Contexts (class LM-57)

The international scientific journal IUL research – for its six issue –  has published a new call for abstracts entitled “Innovative learning environments. Rethinking school spaces between pedagogy, architecture and design” edited by Raffaella Carro and Blyth Alastair.

Learning environments have been for long a core theme of academic debate. In the last ten years, also the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) focused its attention on the relationship between school architecture and learning processes, highlighting the importance of placing the pedagogical-didactic paradigm at the centre of the analysis and the planning of the school environment.

At national level, the “New guidelines for school buildings” published by the Ministry of Education in 2013 promoted a new idea of school, where the typical space organised in rooms and corridors was replaced by a system of complementary and synergic spaces, in order to form an integrated environment supporting learning and socialisation in all the school spaces.

The aim of the call is to collect contributions coming from different scientific environments, enabling to address this challenge by tracing theoretical and practical paths so that investment on the renovation of school architectures would be the driving force for a real transformation of the school system.

Contributions will be welcomed in Italian and English specifically aimed at studying one of the following topics:

1. Rethink existing school buildings
2. Educational spaces and well-being
3. Educational spaces and inclusion
4. Educational spaces and digital technologies
5. Educational spaces and learning processes
6. Physical space and virtual space: hybridization of environments
7. The role of furnishings in the preparation of educational settings
8. Schools and interior design (interior designers…)
9. Common spaces, informal environments and school libraries
10. External spaces belonging to the school: the courtyard, the garden, the terraces
11. Participatory planning
12. School architecture, urban planning and territory
13. Post-covid school spaces

The deadline for submitting abstracts for evaluation is March 14, 2022.
