Unimore Sport Excellence (USE): the University supports sport with multiple programmes and proj-
ects

Unimore was among the first universities in Italy to sign an agreement with CONI (Italian National Olympic
Committee) to support university training activities for young athletes. This agreement gave rise to the Uni-
more Sport Excellence (USE) programme, which supports the university education of students who continu-
ously engage in competitive sports of national and international interest. The USE project provides access to
the so-called ‘dual career’, a system of benefits and tools provided by the university to facilitate the comple-
tion of a university career at the same time as a sports competition career. These include: the possibility of
agreeing on the date of the examinations according to the competitive calendar, the accompaniment of an
academic and classroom tutor and a diploma supplement issued upon completion of Unimore studies to
certify the dual programme carried out. For the 2022/23 academic year, the ‘Unimore Sport Excellence Plus’
call for applications, expiring on 31 January 2023, is also out for student athletes on postgraduate courses
(first- or second-level master’s degrees, PhDs, doctoral schools or medical specialisation schools). Full
details can be found at www.sport.unimore.it. Every year, Unimore also organises the “Festa dello Sport”,
an event during which the Rector awards the students from the latest edition of the Unimore Sport Excel-
lence (USE) programme who have participated and distinguished themselves in university competitions and
national and international competitions over the past year. Unimore believes that sport, even when it remains
a passion and fun, is an opportunity for growth and for acquiring new skills for everyone, and is committed
to promote a real culture of sport and inclusion, aimed at the development of healthy lifestyles and wellness,
through activities and projects, in collaboration with Cus More and sports clubs.
