SINTESI is a non-profit association, born in 1991 as a training Consortium between Universities and enterprises within the framework of COMETT, the European Community  action programme in Education and Training for Technology. Today SINTESI is accredited to the Sicilian Regional Government for high education and vocational training.

Since its birth, SINTESI is engaged in the promotion and development of co-operation between Universities and enterprises in Sicily as for the specific sectors of education, research and technology transfer. SINTESI was joint since its beginning by the three Sicilian Universities of Catania, Messina and Palermo.

SINTESI is also committed in the promotion of co-operation between Universities and Public Bodies, through the common planning of European-level initiatives for the realisation of innovative actions.

SINTESI is convinced that the valorisation of the human resources and technologic innovation of the production processes are key factors for the growth of the regional system. Therefore a policy has been launched in order to both invest into High Education and provide incentives for the mobility of University students, young graduates and the staff of  Universities, public administrations and partner bodies.

SINTESI, besides its activity of information and sensitisation of the European High Education Programmes, organises and creates pilot actions of analysis, education and updating in new technologies, carries out studies about the educational and technology innovation needs of the Sicilian small and medium sized enterprises, is committed in the creation of innovative European projects, rendering technical assistance for the realisation and management of European-level projects. 

In June 2003 SINTESI, together with the University of Palermo, Easy Integrazione di Sistemi srl and Sviluppo Italia Sicilia, has constituted the ARCA business incubator (a consortium for both the promotion of research applications and the creation of innovative enterprises), in the aim of promoting the start-up and development of entrepreneurial initiatives in the Sicilian Region, by favouring, in the business sector, the enforcement of those theoretical and practical principles and competences which are object of the research activity. One of the activities carried out by SINTESI within the framework of ARCA Consortium is the managing co-ordination of  “Start Cup Palermo, business plan competition” promoted by the University of Palermo.

Since October 2005, through a service contract, SINTESI is providing consultancy, technical assistance and operational support to the staff of the “Unità Operativa Progetti Comunitari dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo” (the Community Project Office of the University of Palermo).

In December 2007 SINTESI has had its quality management system certificated by ISO 9001:2000 for its activities of project and post-university/orientation education and University-Enterprise connections services.

SINTESI plays indeed the key role of heightening initiatives of education, technological innovation and research at a national and European level thanks to both its experience and its solid networking system.

Through SINTESI, Universities, enterprises, research and education centres, public bodies are made able to find the best reference people for their European common projects.
