synergy between the Ministry of University and Research (MUR)
and the General Commissariat for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka: a
precious opportunity to delve into the stages of the approach to
the next Universal Exhibition, scheduled in Osaka from 13 April
to 13 October 2025, and to discover how Italian innovation and
research will be protagonists on a global stage.
The framework agreement signed in July 2023 by the General
Commissariat with the MUR, the Crui, the Afam and the CoPer
finds full implementation in the numerous initiatives aimed at
promoting and coordinating the participation of the Italian
university system, the artistic and musical academies and the
world of research at Expo 2025 Osaka as well as strengthening
the internationalization of the Italian academic and research
system, in line with the objectives of the National Recovery and
Resilience Plan (NRRP)
"The Universities and Institutes of Higher Education in Art,
Music and Dance will actively participate in Expo 2025 Osaka
with innovative programs and projects within the Italy
Pavilion," said Elena Sgarbi, Deputy Commissioner for Italy at
Expo 2025 Osaka in Verona. "The leading entities of the
proposals are 7 university institutions and 5 Afam institutions.
The projects, thanks to the involvement of the professional and
academic world, present an artistic and cultural value that will
strengthen the internationalization of the Italian education and
research system."
"The agreement with the MUR, made possible thanks to the
valuable commitment of Minister Bernini, aims to highlight the
excellence of the Italian academic world on the global stage of
Expo 2025 Osaka, in Japan and in the ASEAN region, through a
structured, transparent and inclusive approach," said Ambassador
Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025
Osaka. "For the first time, universities, academies and
conservatories have joined the Commissariat to actively
collaborate in the preparation of Expo 2025 Osaka, working
together to adapt the proposals received in line with the
specifications and peculiarities of the Italy Pavilion. "This
process intends to enhance each contribution, foster new
international collaborations in the fields of research and
business, and attract investments and talents from Japan and the
Asia-Pacific to Italian academic institutions."

in Verona follows an operational workshop that brought together
representatives of the Universities, Research Institutes and
Afam Institutions, whose projects were selected for the Italy

innovation to cultural heritage, from the arts to music,
