00:00We are all very proud that Sotre Croce has also achieved this consensus in the national
00:10sphere.
00:11And this, if you like, is a bit of a icing on the cake as regards our university, which
00:17I think I can say, since the beginning, since 2015, when the Sustainable Development Goals
00:23were launched, has been very committed to this.
00:26We have a research centre in Athenaeum for sustainable development, and RUSS, in particular,
00:35reminds us of our tasks, not only to enunciate the values of sustainable development in
00:41a theoretical way, but also to make concretely practical, within our campus, just as a
00:47living example, those that are the good practices of sustainability.
00:51So, it is certainly something that we all care about, me in particular, as well as the
00:57previous rector, Professor Tira, but I would say that our whole community is very active
01:01on this.
01:02We have a degree programme on this topic and, certainly, with the presidency of Professor
01:07Tricruci, we will have even more incentive, even more momentum to move forward.
01:12The synergy that exists in Brescia, I would dare to say, should link all the universities
01:18with the RUSS network, which, by the way, I recall, is affiliated to the CRUI, so the
01:22Conference of the Rectors of Italian Universities, so it is certainly an official network, and
01:28that of also growing a sensibility in the academic community of teachers, but, of course,
01:34also and above all, of students, of students.
01:37In other words, sustainability must somehow become a way of living within
01:43the life of each of us and it must, in a transversal way, go through all our degree programmes
01:50as much as possible, because this is the future.
01:53So, we have degree programmes that deal with sustainability, we also have an excellent
02:00assessment at the level of international rankings as a university that deals with sustainability.
02:06These are messages that we send to our academic community, but also to our
02:12community of reference, to the city, to the province, to our territory of reference,
02:17to make it clear and to be more and more aware that each of us, in our own particular
02:24and as institutions, we, in our general, can do to make the lives of our families and
02:31our community always better.
