The University of Palermo (UNIPA) is a consolidated cultural, scientific, and teaching presence in central-western Sicily. Its 5 Schools and 20 Departments cover the most critical domains of new scientific and technological knowledge. About 122 courses (first and second cycle) are yearly offered and 44 master and specialization and 23 Ph.D. courses, targeted to the training of specific professional figures, often in cooperation with external institutions and companies. This galaxy attracted 11,085 first-year students in the 2013/2014 academic year. The University General Hospital is a local health corporation that works in synergy with the Faculty of Medicine. It provides beds, day-hospital beds, and a first-aid service. UNIPA is also present in Agrigento, Caltanissetta e Trapani. There is a secure link between UNIPA and the labor market: third students of first cycle degree courses and 2nd-year students of the 2nd cycle experience practice periods within public or private companies and agencies. Research activities Palermo University has 20 Departments, where researchers study every day to find a new solution to the questions posed by nature, science, and society. From Information Technology to Biology, from Mathematics to Medicine, to Social Sciences and Preservation of Cultural Heritage, the University works to contribute to innovation and progress to the international scientific community and the world of production. In the laboratories – many of which are open to the local community – the first step of collaboration between researchers in the academic world and the business world are taken, basic and applied research is carried out, and young brains are given a chance to turn their intuitions to good account. Here scientific research finds its application in robotics, the pharmaceutical industry, ecology, and medical diagnostics. Successful technological transfer implies the full synergy of innovative technologies, scientific expertise, production systems, and processes. It is necessary to implement a full-fledged system, including the “know-how,” production processes, goods, services, and organizational and operational skills. To contribute to achieving this goal, the University of Palermo has set up a University labs network (UniNetLab) for testing and transferring new technologies to SMEs. UniNetLab is the natural evolution of single consolidation actions of some University labs. It aims at the technological innovation of enterprises for the economic recovery of Southern Italy. The University labs integrated system has been conceived to create synergies among the different types of expertise available. It is also meant to be a center of reference for other technology transfer activities of the Universities and research entities operating in our region, given using financial resources better and reaching the necessary critical mass of operators in the sector. In operational terms, UniNetLab ensures the scientific and administrative coordination among the various research units. Nevertheless, each unit is autonomous about the relations with enterprises, which, therefore, can directly apply to the single facilities whose expertise they are interested in.

International School Palermo is set in its premises within the Gonzaga School in the city of Palermo. ISP is in harmony with the principles and values of Ignatian philosophy, its tradition of service to the city and the territory, and its openness to new educational methods. A school where children, from an early age, will have an active role in the learning process and whose aims are towards the development of intellectual, personal, and social skills of today’s students to become men and women of tomorrow. A school that educates the child to live in a multiethnic and multicultural world without frontiers. International programs taught mainly in English, innovative teaching methods, multi-disciplinary programs, student-centered approach to teaching and learning, encourage students to develop personal responsibility, encourage students to become citizens of the world. Rich resources from all around the world enhance our international curriculum. Each classroom is equipped with an extensive class library, manipulatives, and toys, plus Apple Mac computers and an interactive Smartboard. Our library is full of fiction and nonfiction books organized by an electronic operating system. There is a gated children’s playground, a garden, two canteens, two coffee shops, one theatre, and parking facilities. During the school year, 2017/18 ISP has applied for MPY accreditation. The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents. The MYP program is a natural extension of the PYP and engages learners in an active display of their learner profiles. Students engage in topics with their inquiry mind and delve into topics through a rich and diverse perspective. The MYP program will run over three years: M1, M2, and M3 (G7, G8, and G9). Within ISP we will tailor our education to offer students both the Italian Terza Media examinations in M3 which run alongside the MYP curriculum. These two systems complement each other to offer students a diverse and truly worldly educational system: MYP will be also the program for M4 and M5 when ISP will have its own High School.
