    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 SAR Italy is a partnership between Italian higher education institutions and research centres and Scholars at Risk, an international network of higher education institutions aimed at fostering the promotion of academic freedom and protecting the fundamental rights of scholars across the world. In constituting SAR Italy, the governance structures of adhering institutions, as well as researchers, educators, students and administrative personnel send a strong message of solidarity to scholars and institutions that experience situations whereby their academic freedom is at stake, and their research, educational and ‘third mission’ activities are constrained. Coming together in SAR Italy, the adhering institutions commit to concretely contributing to the promotion and protection of academic freedom, alongside over 500 other higher education institutions in 40 countries in the world.

Reform has reduced the length of undergraduate degree programmes to three years with the intention that students should be able to graduate at an earlier age than in the past, in line with graduates from other European countries. This paper offers a first econometric analysis of student withdrawal and progression three years after the introduction of major reform. We use administrative data on students of two Italian universities in a probit model of the probability that the student drops out, and an OLS model of student progression. Our analyses suggest that, notwithstanding the reforms, the drop-out (withdrawal) rate is still very high and only a small proportion of students are likely to complete their studies within the institutional time.

    MIC Conference 2021 Program Blended Edition September 8 - September 10, 2021 Welcome to the MIC Conference 2021! Dear Friends, A warm welcome to our annual event dedicated to the most recent advances in creativity studies, which comes at a special time in special conditions! In fact, 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of foundation of the Marconi Institute for Creativity, and therefore this edition holds particular significance for all of us at MIC, and we thank you all for joining our celebration! The event is co-organized with ISSCI, the International Society for the Study of Creativity and Innovation, and this fruitful collaboration is a key to ensure the highest level of international partnership. In this edition, we have the pleasure to enjoy two further collaborations at international level, which serve to make the conference program ever more interesting. The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity, SfNC, has played an important role in forming the scientific program and will be leading a symposium and a panel on the closing day of the MIC Conference. In addition, the Possibility Studies Network, PSN, will offer a symposium within which the new discipline of possibility studies will be officially launched! All this only serves to add interest to a very rich Conference Program, with Invited Speeches from renown experts, Symposia on hot topics, timely Presentations and Posters of the latest results obtained by our thriving scientific community! The world is still fighting against the sanitary emergency, and this means that our family of participants will be split between those that will attend online and those who will be able to come to Villa Griffone, the home of Guglielmo Marconi where wireless communications were invented in 1895.
