The University Public Assembly, provided for by the Statute, is an event that brings together the university and the city's community. It is convened by the President of the Governing Board to present the University's activities and the main areas of work to citizens and stakeholders. The meeting also serves to gather observations and suggestions that can be useful to adjust the direction of the University and encourages closer collaboration between the University and the region, as it offers a regular opportunity for listening and dialogue. It's on occasion to discuss common needs and priorities and to present the choices of the University to address the challenges of the coming years.

The focus of the 2025-2026 assembly is the energy transition and the relationship between research and the local context. With the title "Future energy: university and territory", the assembly proposes a discussion on the areas of research and technologies that deserve more attention today. The meeting also explores the policies that can guarantee a secure and sustainable energy system, particularly in the local context.
The event will be held on Tuesday 13 January at 10.00 in the auditorium of Palazzo Prodi (via Tommaso Gar, 14). Franco Bernabè, Chairman of the Governing Board, will open the meeting. Next, the Vice Rector for Research Francesca Demichelis will present the contributions of the discussion tables. Two discussion sessions will follow: the first will be moderated by Franco Bernabè with professors of the University of Trento; the second, with rector Flavio Deflorian, will make an overview of the future prospects of the regional energy system. Franco Bernabè will give the closing address.
A sign language interpreter will be present.
