LAPOSS, research center of the University of Catania (Italy)
LAPOSS is as an inter-institutional experimental "space" in which the University (its research and teaching resources) local institutions and citizens meet each other concerning specific issues, services, planning and evaluation of community's needs.
It is actually exploring a novel approach to communication between institutions and citizens, which can lead to specific innovation and efficiency within the activities of each of the partners involved. For the University, in fact, this means to replace the curricula with respect to labour modifications and to training and informative requirements (i.e. training and thesis, which can be thought and planned by choosing themes and institutional links, both theoretical and practical, otherwise impossible). For local institutions the challenge is to build stable relationships that allow them to start performing the administration reform in subsidiary and autonomy terms (planning, responsibility, control and participation). For the citizens the Laboratory brings a "space" to meet local institutions outside the institutional sphere, and to participate and contribute actively to the definition and planning of policy and services.
