The University of Naples Federico II and the Procura Generale presso la Corte d’Appello di Napoli have signed a framework agreement on research, professional training and higher education, according to ANSA.
The agreement is intended to coordinate activities, use resources more efficiently and strengthen cooperation between the university and the judicial office.
Planned activities include joint research and analysis, organisational and technological innovation, and the simplification and modernisation of work processes, according to ANSA. ExPartibus reports the cooperation also covers economic and statistical analysis and institutional communication linked to the functions of the Procura Generale.
Rector Andrea Mazzucchi framed the agreement as a way to combine academic and institutional expertise, promote legal culture and strengthen trust in public institutions. Prosecutor General Aldo Policastro described it as a multidisciplinary effort linking the experience of judicial offices with university expertise.
Internships connected to the cooperation had already begun, according to Prima Campania, giving students direct exposure to legality, jurisdiction and justice.
ExPartibus reports the arrangement forms part of wider cooperation between universities and judicial offices, with roots in a 2016 framework convention between the Ministry of Justice and the Conference of Italian University Rectors.
