The first University in Italy to enter smart working increases the contamination with companies for training in step with the revolution underway in the world of work.
Rome, 09 October 2019 -“My trump card was the curriculum I had in Italy. Study in Italy and look abroad to build something beautiful for our country". For Emilio Billi, founder of A3Cube and father of the latest generation supercomputers, there is no doubt: the Italian university is able to provide all the tools to carry out one's projects thanks to the solid theoretical preparation of our degree courses.
Speaking of training, professional updating, adaptation of skills to the changes taking place in the world of work Emilio Billi intervened with a speech on Monday 7 October in the meeting “Ride your tech revolution – Reshaping skills and knowledge through lifelong learning” at Copernico Repubblica where Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma presented to the numerous companies present the “Business education program” of the Engineering faculty, a wide range of courses on specific subjects such as cyber security, production resilience, electronics, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, IoT and artificial intelligence, biomedical instrumentation. For Emilio Billi, returned to Italy after ten years of developing his company in Silicon Valley, the university must increase student learning through a real change of mentality: “We need to invest in knowledge, not just accepting change but getting to know it, both in a technical and managerial sense. We must work more in synergy with research institutions and universities that deal with knowledge every day to distinguish what is the reality that awaits us from what has nothing to do with the future”.
The rector UCBM Raffaele Calabrò he recalled how "in an increasingly technological society, employment needs are changing and this also involves changes in training needs. We must pay attention to the needs of people and companies and work together to support graduates and professionals in building and improving their career path". From research projects to technology transfer, the choice ofUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma is to strengthen the relationship with businesses from a modern perspective to achieve a real change of mentality, as explained by the general director of UCBM, Andrea Rossi: “Our desire is precisely to take a step towards companies, improve the relationship with them, interact and understand the future challenges to experience this great phase of work renewal together”. For this theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, the first university in Italy, has opened a space at Copernico Repubblica where it will host its courses, as the vice president recalled Davide lotteries: "We have decided to have a place for our activities in the heart of the capital of strong interrelationship and contamination with the business world, and therefore we have decided to collaborate with Copernico and get even closer to them". A synergy also strongly desired by Copernico who, as a supplier of smart working environments, underlined the value of this choice with Roberto Guida, CEO of Rome Innovation Hub: "It is the first time that a university decides to leave the university classrooms to contaminate itself with a different environment, capable of enriching it: we are talking about contamination with small and large companies, stakeholders who can help improve the provision of the typical university service , the quality of scientific research, to imagine common scenarios, to improve professional and managerial training and updating".
