PrintThe tenth academic year of Sophia University Institute, which was formalized on December 7, 2007 by Pontifical Decree, will be launched on October 24, 2017. In the letter sent on that occasion to Chiara Lubich, who was the inspiration of Sophia, the Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education underscored the novelty of the Institute “that flows from the roots of the spirituality of unity and from the Movement’s rich experience.” He also asserted his best wishes for this “important project, well rooted in the academic tradition but also brave and forward-looking.” Ten year later, the Sophia academic community gratefully remembers the journey from then until now and plans strategies that will determine the near future in total faithfulness to the mission that has shaped Sophia Institute. The main event of the day will be the official opening of the new Sophia Global Studies Academic Centre.  Inauguration Forum
