#USI25 Key moments
USI's 25th anniversary will feature a wide range of initiatives and events that will follow two main themes, #Shapingknowledge and #USIsU, and that will be structured around five defining events: Shaping Science, XXV Dies academicus, the Alumni & Alumnae Reunion dedicated to graduates, the Town Festival for the inauguration of the East Campus Lugano and the meeting with Nobel Prize winner Jacques Dubochet.
These events will mark 2021 with the desire to emphasize that the University is not an "ivory tower", unattainable by most and impervious to external stresses, where great minds detached from the reality that surrounds them are intent on elaborating who knows what abstruse concept; on the contrary, it is an integral and living part of the social fabric, which wants to involve and enter the discussions, projects and - why not - the hearts of the population.
