The opportunity to debate themes and critical issues linked to the adoption of information technologies has always been a fundamental aspect of the work of information system managers and professionals, often meeting in professional communities or user groups dedicated to specific topics.

As information from research conducted by the information systems unit shows, the meetings organised by business schools are one of the main sources of inspiration for ICT innovation in Italian companies.

On the back of these strengths, the information systems unit dedicates ample space to the creation of channels and moments of encounter dedicated to the ICT professional community, at both the national and international levels, so as to establish high-profile dialogue that can provide impetus for the development and sharing of knowledge on the governance of IT.

The unit's main activities are:

• Business and Information Technologies (BIT) Programme & Conference


• OSS.Lab (Open Source Laboratory)


• Follow-up monographs for ex-participants of executive programmes


• IS Governance Initiative


• IS Award


• Observatory on Business Intelligence and Business Performance Management systems


• Technology and Innovation Management, with the #Unit produzione e tecnologia
