Santa Croce - Research Project

This Research Project was born in the academic year 2021-2022, when a reflection process regarding the research began, thanks to the suggestion made by Pope Francis' Apostolic Constitution "Veritatis gaudium".
The overall aim is to promote collaborative, interdisciplinary or trans-disciplinary, international research, in partnership with other pontifical, Catholic and lay universities, focused on themes of evangelizing value impact.
In the 2022 - 2023 academic year, was organised a first Call for Projects, and as a result, 13 projects were presented which involved 38 institutions from 17 different countries, for a total of 60 professors from our University and 49 from other academic institutions. Were selected the following 3 research groups by the Scientific Committee (made up of internal and external professors at the University):
• University and Catholic Identity
• Footprints. Young people: Expectations, Ideals, Beliefs
• Towards a Theology of Evangelization
