Tor Vergata University of Rome, in alignment with the principles outlined in the Code of Ethical Conduct, strives to provide academic support and full inclusion to students who serve as family caregivers. These students are responsible for caring for a family member with a disability who is unable to independently perform daily activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caregivers often face commitments and challenges that can significantly impact their university careers. These challenges may include having less time available for studying, difficulties in leaving home due to caregiving responsibilities, feelings of concern, anxiety, mental load<\/em> and psychological manifestations of distress resulting from the burden of caregiving responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

To support these students, the University collaborates with them to create an educational path that acknowledges their commitment to family care and recognizes the social importance of their caregiving work, ensuring their full inclusion and maximum enjoyment of the university experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Rectoral Decree No. 259\/2023, the \"Regulation for Study Support and Inclusion of Students Who Act as Family Caregivers \u2013 SOIN Project\" has been issued, which can be viewed link<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
