Recognition of student associations
Through the recognition process, student associations have access to a number of benefits offered by the University of Trento and Opera Universitaria, such as:

- funding;
- funding to support the organization of events.
Recognition requests
The Recognition application must be submitted online by the president or the legal representative of the student association by 30 November of each year.
The request is valid for one year. Associations that do not renew the request will lose all benefits.
Use of university rooms and spaces
Based on availability, the University of Trento gives associations the opportunity to use rooms and spaces within its premises. Sometimes the spaces are shared by more than one association. Student organizations can submit a joint application to use the same room or space.
The application must be submitted by the president or legal representative of the association.
Applications must be completed online by 30 November of each year, together with the recognition request.
The request is valid for one year. Associations that do not renew the request will lose all benefits.
Allocation of financial resources
Applications for annual contributions must be submitted to Opera Universitaria by the legal representative of the organization or by a delegate by 30 November of each year, to receive funding for the next year (e.g. by applying in November 2022, you will receive funding to cover the costs of 2023). This deadline does not apply to organizations applying for the first time.
Applications must be submitted using the form on the website of Opera Universitaria.
Event funding
The University of Trento and Opera Universitaria provide funding for cultural and social events organized by recognized student associations.
