Vision

A Department of choice for high-quality students interested in a stimulating learning environment, scholars interested in pursuing quality and impact in research, and employees and society interested in an inclusive and respectful working environment and relationships.

Three-fold Mission

dSEA aims to realise its vision for the next few years, strengthening the quality of research, teaching, and public engagement. We believe that such strengthening is likely to be achieved by acknowledging that we are a community of students, faculty, and staff embedded within a larger system of relations with organisations, institutions and individuals. 

• RESEARCH - Quality and impactful research can be realised both attracting high quality scholars and creating a supportive environment for all the faculty members, removing obstacles to research activities (in particular, for young scholars), and stimulating research transdisciplinary.
• TEACHING AND LEARNING - A stimulating learning environment can be strengthened both attracting high-quality students and continuously adjusting educational programmes to the needs of organisations, institutions, and individual professionals. An inclusive and respectful working environment is valorised by supporting merit, individual development, responsibility and diversity.
• PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT - dSEA will play a relevant role in society through research and teaching activities and engaging with the community through inclusive actions and sustainable practices related to acquired competencies.
