«We don't want to give up the most important patrimony of the Padua university: our students and our students. For this reason, the University of Padua has put in place a strong aid and subsidy plan, with an economic commitment of 15 million euros, for those who already attend courses and for future freshmen – recalls Rosario Rizzuto, rector of the University of the Studies of Padua -. The agreement with TIM goes in this direction: to support distance learning, which we will provide in blended mode, providing students with free internet connection. The pandemic has profoundly changed our habits, calling us to provide answers to new needs. Thus online teaching will remain as a support tool for returning students from our University to the classroom. An effort that has seen us deliver 150 thousand hours of online lessons on average per day, and in the summer session alone more than 100 thousand exams and two thousand degrees ".
"Supporting distance learning and the development of digital skills, guaranteeing and strengthening access to the network and the digitization of educational systems, is essential to support the relaunch phase that awaits us and reduce social inequalities – comments Federico Rigoni, Chief TIM Revenue Officer -. With this important partnership, TIM strengthens its commitment to the world of education through increasingly close collaborations with schools, universities and research centers, confirming us as a point of reference for the development and digital transformation of the country ".
