PUBLIC RELATIONS RESEARCH LABORATORIES
Educational activities are significantly combined with fieldwork, thanks to the presence of some research laboratories, which are actively operating at the Polyfunctional Centre of Gorizia.
These research laboratories are mainly, but not only, available to the courses of Public Relations and Integrated Communication for Businesses and Organizations:
LAREM
LAREM is the only academic centre of economics and management studies in the province of Gorizia.
The laboratory aims to put the University in contact with the local territory, while also keeping an eye on Europe and the neighbouring countries.
It stands as a joint venture between public speakers, local authorities and institutions, companies and students. It represents a good opportunity to approach the working world, to personally experience the importance of public relations and business communication, but always with the help of professors and researchers. It’s an effective way to bring the “world of tomorrow” closer to “today”. Research and consulting projects, workshops and conventions, international activities, internships and thesis: these are the areas in which LAREM operates. Professors bring their professional knowledge and experience to guide their students towards what will be their professional environment by integrating cross-communication between firms and University, thus offering endless and unique opportunities.

SME Leaders & Sustainability: Deliberative Engagement
LAREM participates together with other 8 European partners to the SME-DE Project, founded by the EU, which will build a targeted, demand-driven Executive Programme consisting of education and business support tools. This will help SME intermediary leaders be more effectively engaged in addressing longer-term sustainability issues.

ROC
The Public Relations, Organisation and Communication Laboratory (ROC) started off as the first of the various workspaces focused on research, planning, and high-level skill development available for the students of Public Relations. Many students and graduates of the Gorizia-based University of Udine actively and enthusiastically contributed to its creation. During its long-term activity, ambitious projects regarding organisation and communication skills were carried out thanks to prolific work teams and various operative units. The laboratory deals with:
- strategic planning and event management;
- media relations;
- psycho-social research, surveys;
- strategic communication plans.
For the students who take part in ROC, laboratory activities are a constant source of opportunities, educational possibilities, contacts and relations with professionals and entrepreneurs which contribute to the growth of Public Relations.
There is a very long list of national and international workshops and projects that ROC has worked on since its birth. Some examples are: “Communication, the power to rebuild reality. Lab of Communication Management regarding conflicts.” (2002); “Social Responsibility: contribution to the company reputation.” (2003); press office management at the 2nd World Public Relations Convention, WPRF (2005). Since 2008, ROC has organised and planned the social responsibility campaign for enterprises, in cooperation with APT Gorizia: “Il libro delle 18.03”, as well as the literary prize “Si Libri la Mente”.
