In fact, any innovation is the result of a discovery, an evolution, it implies a learning process and in oder to be understood (and to be integrated into the social fabric), new learning must be generated. The process of changing, in its most profound sense, is always to be understood as a process of adaptation and of modification of the reality. In both cases this changing process has economic, social, cultural and ethical implications that must be considered.

The objective of the Axis is to promote research applied to learning situations between the learner and the educational qualities stated in formal, non formal and informal contexts throughout the life circle and within defined educational systems.

The axis group faces the challenge of a reflection on the virtuous interconnections between training and research: in fact all science is confronted with the need to propose an effective and efficient vocational disciplinary teaching, which promotes the culture of responsibility and sustainability.
