  • Establish an ongoing open and transparent relationship with journalists
  • Disclose the main activities and projects USI to the public
  • Coordinate and support external communication for the institutions, faculties and research institutes
  • Promote information exchange within the university community
  • Coordinate and develop the institutional publications of the University
