The University of Pisa joins the initiative Universities Unveiled, promoted by the CRUI - Conference of Italian University Rectors with the patronage of the Ministry of University and Research. On 20 March, on the occasion of the National Day of Universities, coinciding with the International Day of Happiness and within the Minerva Week, universities throughout Italy will celebrate knowledge and education.
In Pisa, there will be a rich programme of initiatives offered to the entire university community, citizens and schools: the University of Pisa will unveil itself by opening museums, libraries, collections, reserved areas of the botanical garden, laboratories, departments, centres and sports facilities to the public for guided tours.
