📅 On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the IUSS School participated in the University of Pavia’s Open Day, offering a valuable opportunity to discover a unique educational model. This advanced, interdisciplinary and tuition-free program complements the traditional university path, providing students with a distinctive learning experience.

📍 The IUSS stand was among the most visited, attracting the curiosity of students and families interested in the School’s innovative approach: a dual enrollment pathway at the University of Pavia and IUSS that nurtures critical thinking, scientific curiosity, and problem-solving skills.

👨‍🎓 IUSS students attend the Corsi Ordinari alongside their university degree courses. This cross-disciplinary curriculum is stimulating and entirely free of charge. It also includes residential life in the prestigious Collegi di Merito, at the heart of student life in Pavia. In addition, students receive financial support for accommodation costs.

Throughout the day, visitors had the chance to engage with faculty, students, and staff, gaining insights into the College system, international opportunities, and the benefits of a dynamic, collaborative learning environment that promotes independence, interdisciplinary dialogue, and initiative.

📌 A well-attended guided tour of the IUSS campus allowed guests to experience first-hand the academic atmosphere of a School that places motivation, commitment, and growth at its core—offering a high-level education that is deeply connected with research and today’s global challenges.

📸 A day full of exchanges, questions, and new connections—thank you to everyone who joined us!

The enthusiasm and engagement shown during the event reflect the value of an educational model that shapes the minds of the future through an innovative, inclusive, and student-centered approach.
