Human Resources are the most important element for all so-called KIO (knowledge intensive organizations). The University pays particular attention to the development of this “human capital”, on whom the ability to create and spread knowledge depends. The University’s human resources are composed of three typologies
On the one hand, there are the permanent positions:

• teaching staff and researchers, including those on fixed-term contracts: academic staff responsible for teaching, research and third mission activities
• foreign language instructors: support staff for foreign language teachin
• technical-administrative personnel, including those on fixed-term contracts: staff responsible for administrative activities and technical support

The non-permanent workforce includes, in particular, non-permanent research staff who contribute to the University’s research activities.
A part of the teaching and research staff is affiliated with the National Health Service and is therefore employed by National Health Service bodies.
In the Integrated Social Responsibility Report, the main features of the academic faculty and the technical-administrative staff will be briefly summarised, together with the results of some activities undertaken for this fundamental part of the university community.
