Quality Assurance in Third Mission - Social Impact

The university classifies its Third Mission – Social Impact -related activities into three areas: 

  • Teaching & Education; 
  • Research & Innovation; 
  • Governance & Operations. 

Organizing activities 

The coordination of Third Mission activities is the responsibility of the Dean for Academic Strategy and Institutional Affairs, Professor Myriam Mariani. Professor Mariani is in charge of supervising and managing the University's Third Mission activities, in particular its relations with the community and the third sector.  

Operational responsibilities are delegated to the administrative Directors, who supervise the implementation of the activities within their respective areas of competence. To ensure the coordination of all the activities developed by the University in the various areas of the Third Mission, the Committee for the Support and Coordination of TMIS Activities was set up in November 2023. This committee oversees monitoring and mapping Third Mission activities, updating, and reviewing the information and data collected in order to ensure activities and objectives are in line with Bocconi‘s strategic plan and evaluating the quality of research specifically related to Third Mission activities.

 

B-Quality is the quality portal created by the University Quality Assurance Committee and accessible to the entire Bocconi community (faculty, students, and staff). The platform provides information on QA stakeholders and processes, offering a valuable resource of materials, regulations, guidelines, and training activities.
