In research

Università Cattolica aims to advance knowledge in every field, according to the principle of autonomy and specificity of each discipline and in compliance with the methodologies specific to each science. This approach is relevant both for planning and evaluation purposes, as objectives and methods are epistemically determined by the characteristics of the research conducted with respect to the purposes of the different disciplinary areas and are therefore diversified both in terms of the type of products and expected results, and in terms of the evaluation tools to be used. Furthermore, every research activity is considered within an integral vision of the human person and of creation, therefore scientific research is always carried out keeping in mind the consequent ethical and moral implications, with reference to both the objectives pursued and the methods used.

Università Cattolica fosters the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach of scientific research, through a path that requires a synthesis between the responsible use of the methodologies of empirical sciences and speculative knowledge, up to theology. It also promotes cooperation with other academic and non-academic institutions, both public and private.
