Sponsorships

Your company can support the university for events and initiatives.

With your support we can enhance external funding to improve and increase initiatives, activities and the quality of the services we offer.

Why sponsor a university activity

  1. Social responsibility and community relations
  2. Visibility and reputation
  3. Brand positioning in the education sector

What you can sponsor

Sponsorships may relate to initiatives, projects, activities and events. In particular:

  • Cultural and social events
  • Execution of works or acquisition of products and services
  • Services offered by the university to the university or city community

What types of sponsorships are available

Your company can support the University of Bologna through various sponsorship arrangements:

  • Financial contributions
  • Technical sponsorships, i.e. the execution of works, the supply of products or the provision of services to the University
  • Creation of merchandising products with the University’s logo

Excluded are sponsorship proposals related in any way to:

  • advertising of products that are detrimental to the environment, dignity or health, or in any case not in keeping with the places where university activities are carried out;
  • propaganda of a political, trade union or religious nature;
  • messages that are offensive or detrimental to people's dignity.

What the sponsorship contract entails

To enter into a contract, the sponsorship must comply with certain principles. In particular it should:

  1. comply with institutional purposes and the pursuit of the University’s public interests
  2. exclude conflicts of interest between public and private activities
  3. enable the achievement of cost savings and/or new revenues for the University.

Contracts with an exclusive right of publicity for a specific sponsored initiative do not apply to all the other initiatives of the University and do not imply the acquisition of the publicity rights of the University where the initiative takes place.
