This year again, UniTS is taking part in the AIRCampus project, dedicated to university students with the aim of raising awareness about AIRC (Italian association for research on cancer) and promoting understanding of cancer as a public health issue.

In the 2025/26 academic year, the University will host a series of lectures on topics related to the Foundation’s mission, which are also of interest to students from a variety of degree programmes.

The lectures are divided between the two semesters and will take place within degree courses with at least 40 students. Each session lasts about two hours and features both an AIRC expert (researchers, managers, nonprofit professionals, ambassadors) and a UniTS lecturer.

A unique opportunity for students to explore topics connected to their courses of study, through real-world examples and a multidisciplinary approach offered by professionals in the field.
