Transition towards low-carbon societies requires multi-scalar and coordinated actions. It implies top-down and bottom-up processes of translation connecting supra-national regulations and targets, with policies and dis- courses enacted at the national and local level. However, there is a dearth of research analysing the coordination among different scales. The present paper explores how alternative views associated with energy sustainability are translated, supported or resisted, across different scales. Data were collected at a national, regional and local level in Italy.

Il contributo ripercorre il processo di istituzionalizzazione della Terza Missione nell’Università italiana, concentrandosi sulla sua emergente dimensione culturale e funzione di cosiddetto public engagement.
