Fondazione Golinelli

Fondazione Golinelli is an Italian foundation established in 1988 with the aim of promoting education and training, defending culture, and fostering the intellectual, cultural, and ethical growth of young people. It is a unique example of a private philanthropic and operational foundation in Italy, inspired by the model of major American foundations. The foundation develops innovative projects that connect schools, universities, research, the business world, and the arts, natural sciences, humanities, and technology. It believes in an experimental approach to learning and disseminates high-quality content through exhibitions, workshops, courses, and conferences aimed at people of all ages. The foundation's activities are guided by a vision of social responsibility, viewing education as the key to building a better society capable of addressing the complex challenges of an unpredictable future.

Opificio Golinelli, located in Bologna, is a center for knowledge and culture that encompasses the activities of Fondazione Golinelli. It spans 9,000 square meters following a significant urban redevelopment intervention.

Opus 2065 is a multi-year program focused on innovation in education, research, and business that Fondazione Golinelli has launched for the coming years. The program aims to develop new methods for educating young people and teachers, establish a research center focused on future fields of knowledge, and support new entrepreneurial activities. Opus 2065 is open to collaborations with public and private national and international entities.
