USI Newsroom
The USI Institutional Communication Service is responsible for encouraging, coordinating, and managing all Newsroom activities. The Newsroom is a cross-functional project, led by the Rector, where representatives from various university departments, faculties, and institutes convene regularly (approximately once a month) to share news pertinent to the entire academic community.
The project takes inspiration from corporate newsrooms. Its goal is to align USI's communication with its strategic objectives, thanks to the presence of the Rector, and to promote internal cohesion and optimise resources and the effectiveness of communication channels. The Newsroom is an open group of representatives from various parts of the academic community.
Anyone interested in participating, either in person or via Microsoft Teams, can email [email protected].
