The new University Code of Ethics and Conduct is in force from 1 April 2024.
The Code lays down the basic values of the university community and the rules for avoiding all forms of discrimination and abuse, as well as for regulating cases of conflict of interest and the area of intellectual property. It is a benchmark document providing an ethical framework for the University’s internal and external relations, and stands as a declaration of principles accepted and shared by teachers and researchers, managing and technical-administrative staff, students and all who enter into relations with the University and share its values.
The rules in Chapter II, Section II integrate and specify the D.P.R. n. 62/2013 and subsequent amendments and additions and define the obligations of conduct related to service activities. Where compatible, these also extend to all forms of University collaborator and consultant. The same norms of behaviour, approved by the Board of Administration, apply, where compatible, to those working for firms carrying out works, or suppliers of goods and services, on behalf of the Administration.
Adoption of the Code of Ethics and Conduct forms one of the chief measures and ways of implementing the strategies for preventing corruption at a decentralised level, as outlined by Law n. 190 of 06/11/2012.
All members of the university community are equally responsible for upholding and applying in full the rules of the University Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The new Code of Ethics and Conduct was adopted pursuant to Article 2, paragraph 1 of Law n. 240/2010 and Article 54, paragraph 5 of D.lgs. n. 165/2001 to integrate and specify the National Code of Conduct for Public Officials (D.P.R. n. 62/2013 and subsequent amendments and additions).
