Shape your future: the first edition of the Academy of Political and Social Training is underway

The Regional Body for the Right to University Study (ERSU) of Messina has called for the first edition of the Academy of Political and Social Training. This is an in-depth study that will take place in the city of Messina from October 2026 and will end in April 2027. The initiative offers a cycle of exclusive meetings to analyse the central themes of our time, allowing members to meet with university professors, experts, journalists and institutional representatives.

Who is it for and how many seats?

The call provides a total of 100 places, divided into two specific categories:

• Up to 80 places are reserved for students and students regularly enrolled in the degree courses of the University of Messina.

• Up to 20 places are instead intended for A.Y. 2025/2026 recent graduates, Ph.D. students and graduate students from the University of Messina, as well as regularly enrolled or recent graduates (A.Y. 2025/2026) from other Universities.
