The University of Rome Tor Vergata, established in 1982, is a public research university organised into six Schools – Economics, Law, Engineering, Humanities, Medicine and Surgery, and Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences – and 18 Departments. For the academic year 2025/2026, it offers 117 undergraduate programmes, 140 professional master’s programmes, 47 specialisation schools, and 37 doctoral programmes, serving approximately 35,000 students from Italy and abroad.
The University integrates education, research, and innovation, contributing to technological, organisational, and social development in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. It collaborates with private companies, public institutions, and non-profit organisations at national and international levels, while promoting lifelong learning and advanced knowledge. In the 2026 QS Europe University Rankings, Tor Vergata ranked among the top ten Italian universities and within the top 150 in Europe.
Within the RADAR-AIM project, the University of Rome Tor Vergata plays a key role in shaping new learning pathways on Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability, with the aim of supporting responsible innovation. As leader of the development phase (Work Package 3), in close collaboration with d-teach and the other academic partners, Tor Vergata is responsible for designing the structure of the programme and developing the courses that will subsequently be tested across partner universities. The programme is modular and flexible. Each module can also be recognised as a micro-credential, allowing learners to acquire and certify specific competences aligned with their professional or academic needs.
A distinctive aspect of Tor Vergata’s contribution is its focus on connecting academic knowledge with practical application. The courses are developed through a co-creation and co-design approach that involves all project partners and is informed by stakeholder consultation with educators, students, and industry representatives. This collaborative process ensures that the programme addresses concrete competence gaps and responds to the real needs of organisations navigating digital and sustainability transitions.
The University is also directly involved, together with the partner institutions, in piloting and testing the developed modules, collecting feedback, and contributing to their refinement. In parallel, Tor Vergata supports dissemination and promotes the adoption of the modules within its academic and professional networks.
Through this work, Tor Vergata contributes to building a European learning offer that helps future professionals and organisations understand not only how AI works, but how it can be applied in a responsible, sustainable, and strategically meaningful way.
