The Board of the University’s student associations (TAUT, Tavolo delle Associazioni Universitarie Trentine) was established on the initiative of the Department for Education and Youth policies of the Autonomous Province of Trento.

Since its establishment in 2006, the board has served as the place where student associations discuss and promote common projects, acting as a contact point for associations, the University, students and citizens. In March 2013 the board became an independent association.

Purpose of the board

The mission of the board is to help the student community express its creativity by supporting all the student associations that adhere to TAUT, including through a successful collaboration with the various organizations that work locally.

To achieve this, TAUT has two important tools: its plenary sessions, that are held at the School of Innovation every 2 months, and the Telegram group, which includes one representative from the executive committees of the associations.

This makes it possible to discuss the issues that the student community finds more pressing, to establish a fruitful collaboration with various local entities, area plans and institutions, to enter into agreements and plan training and events.

Through its initiatives the board also aims to promote cohesion among its members, to build and strengthen relationships with local entities, and to enhance and stimulate the active participation of young people.

What we do

Every year, the members of the board agree on a shared plan of action that includes a number of initiatives. The plan is called “Piano Operativo Giovani – Piano Giovani d'Ambito T.A.U.T.” and is supported by the Youth policies of the Autonomous Province of Trento.

Different initiatives are developed and supported by the board: conferences, concerts, training courses, awareness raising campaigns and research projects.

Here you can find a list of past projects: http://www.politichegiovanili.provincia.tn.it/piani_ambito/

By joining as a collaborating member, your association will have access to training, a network of important contacts and good practices.

Furthermore, every year TAUT undertakes to organize the University Associations Fair to give visibility to all the associations in a single event, presenting them to the student community and underlining their diversity.
