Mission Statement The University of Milan is a research-intensive university. The key objectives of its strategy are the development of highly-skilled human capital and of high-quality scientific research. Its inclusion in the League of European Research Universities (LERU) as the only Italian institution, as well as its top position among Italian universities in all the international rankings based on scientific productivity, are indicators of success in pursuing such strategy. At the same time, the University of Milan acknowledges the plurality of missions that universities are currently expected to perform vis-à-vis the challenges of globalization and of knowledge-based economies. For this reason, it pursues all the functions deemed necessary to create a European Higher Education Area (EHEA): production of new knowledge through cutting-edge scientific research, formation of human capital with varying degrees of specialization, provision of life-long learning, knowledge exchange, contribution to local development, international exchange of knowledge and human capital. In performing each of these functions, the University of Milan aims at the highest level of quality that can be achieved given the available resources. Its strategic plan incorporates such objectives. Internal as well as external evaluation is then used to assess the degree to which such objectives, and especially high quality standards in each of the functions assigned to the University structures, have been achieved.
