The University Centres aim at the design, development and implementation of research, training and intervention projects on issues of identity for the University and of particular strategic importance in the context of the contribution that Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore offers to the Church and to society as a whole.

The bodies (Centres, Laboratories and Observatories) are dynamic realities of analysis and interpretation of the processes that characterise the changes taking place in the local and global context. They promote scientific, research and dissemination activities on current issues of interest to society in a multidisciplinary perspective, in collaboration with professors and researchers from other universities and national and international research centres.
