For giving me this opportunity today to meet the University of Verona law students, I would like to thank Dott.sa Isolde Quaranti of the Faculty of Law of the University of Verona, and representative for the University of Verona for Scholars at Risk. I also wish to thank all members of the recently created, and very successful SAR Italy section for their continuing moral support.


Introduction

Good morning. Let me first congratulate the neighbouring Italian universities of Padova and Bologna for having achieved a place in the top 20 in the Times Higher Education social impact ranking. We hope the newly elected Rettore Magnifico of the university of Verona has taken note, and follows their example. It would be great to have three Italian universities in the top 20 of this new, but prestigious ranking.
