Scuola IaD - Università di Roma Tor Vergata

What Scuola IaD - Università di Roma Tor Vergata does

Scuola IaD (Istruzione a Distanza) is the distance-learning school of the Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, a public Italian state university operating under the Ministry of University and Research. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Rome with three locations on the Tor Vergata campus (Via Cracovia, Via Columbia, and Via del Fontanile di Carcaricola), it operates with a lean staff of approximately 25 employees and delivers University Master's programs at Level I and II (60 CFU, 1,500 hours each), Bachelor's and Master's degrees in hybrid (in-person/distance) mode, advanced specialization courses (Corsi di Perfezionamento), an English-language Foundation Course for international students, and corporate training initiatives.

The school runs on a Moodle-based e-learning platform integrated with Zoom virtual classrooms, with authentication via SPID and payments handled through the national PagoPA system. It is a participating entity in PNRR-funded projects including the Digital Education Hub ALMA (DEH-ALMA) and Rome Technopole Spoke 2, and in multiple EU consortia (CETERA, SIRIUS 3.0, STRONGERYOU, ruraLAB 3.0, CO-GREEN, ESTour, OLTRE, NEMO), through which it is layering AI-based chatbots, predictive analytics, and adaptive learning onto its delivery stack. AI initiatives are institutionally anchored through the interdepartmental ToCAI center.

The revenue model is hybrid-public: government block funding and PNRR/EU grants, supplemented by per-program tuition fees (variable by program, paid in installments via PagoPA), one-time parchment issuance fees (130 EUR), and corporate training fees. Programs are marketed through public selection announcements (bandi), the university Delphi enrollment system, Open Days, hackathons, and an institutional website and social channels. Student segments are diversified across postgraduate professionals, language educators, healthcare professionals, social-sector workers, and international students, with no enterprise anchor customer dominating revenue.
