Our Philosophy

Università Cattolica recognises sustainability as a path of development to be practised in order to improve the human condition.

With the firm conviction that a large-scale and structural irreversible transformation is underway, the University identifies its path towards sustainability by taking as its spiritual, ethical and normative reference the set of principles and exhortations proposed by the papal encyclicals.

In this perspective, the sustainability transition aspires to be superordinate with respect to other major transitions of the era, such as the demographic, economic and technological transitions, capable of imprinting all the dynamics of large systems and capable of governing them.
