This public university was founded in 2004, and is headquartered in Rome, Italy. There are also regional offices in Liguria, Lombardia, Campania, Calabira, and several other locations. It is described on its web site as "the first Italian Open University, acknowledged by the Ministry of Education, University and Research" - though it is not clear in what sense the university is defined as "open".

1. Full distance teaching (e-learning): course delivery through the "virtual c@mpus" platform (web/internet), mobile learning (cell phones, palms, etc.), and/or interactive TV (TV/Web TV) - according to each student’s skills and learning style.
