Patronage is an official recognition by which the University expresses its support, free of charge, for worthy third-party initiatives, for which it allows the use of its seal.
Patronage may be granted by the University or by one of its campuses or departments.
For detailed information, please see the Rules for granting patronage.
Possible patronage
Patronage may only be requested for non-profit initiatives that fall within the University's institutional aims, such as, for example, conventions, congresses, conferences, seminars, dissemination activities, awareness-raising campaigns, publication of editorial and multimedia products in the cultural, scientific, social and sporting fields.
The patronage of campuses may only be requested for initiatives strictly related to the local territory (Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna or Rimini).
The patronage of departments may only be requested for initiatives strictly related to the relevant scientific field.
