The "Campus Satellitare del
Salento" (CSS) was initially created to perform distance
learning and education by using the satellite connections,
but, during its realization, several new possibilities for
different uses in the next future have arisen.
Concerning the content of the audio/video events delivered
by CSS, the idea is to extend the use of the system for the
dissemination of a wide range of cultural events, such as
seminars, conferences, scientific meetings, etc.. An
important step in the direction of a strengthen of the CSS
system was made with the agreement with the "Consorzio
Universitario Interprovinciale Salentino"
(CUIS), which will guarantee its sponsorship
with direct involvement of CUIS for the next years for
the endowment of the CSS and a participation to the
relative management costs.
The final goal for the future of CSS is to make this system
an efficient tool for the diffusion and the dissemination
of knowledge and learning, focused on the cultural and
academic resources and traditions of the Salento region,
but, by the use of satellite connections and Internet,
virtually able to reach any destination on the planet.
