Among the University's duties is the public communication of the results of science, which cannot remain the preserve of a small group, but must be shared with the entire community. The university plays a fundamental role in the socialisation of knowledge and its proper dissemination. In a complex society, where the circulation of information is chaotic and often disconnected from the critical exercise of evaluating sources, the university has an ethical and civic duty to communicate knowledge that is authentic and not subject to mystification.

For this reason, the publication of research is firmly united with the dissemination of results outside the scientific community, through effective communication that is accessible to a broader public: the transposition of technical and specialised, poetic and literary content into comprehensible and immediate forms and language makes access to knowledge possible for different levels of the public in terms of age, gender, cultural background and social extraction. This is the direction in which the publishing activity dedicated to high popularisation of science, open to the demands and needs of the entire civil community, is heading.

Finally, enhancing the impact of publishing activities on the community brings tangible benefits not only for the dissemination of knowledge, but also for the formation of a society that is more aware and capable of facing the challenges of the contemporary world.
