This is a community for Italian university students, graduates, and aspiring freshmen. People come here to ask questions about courses of study, university life, and enrollment, or to share their own university experiences. The community speaks both Italian and English, so posts in either language fit. It is a student-focused space built around real academic questions and lived experience, not a place for brands or products to show up uninvited.
The rule that matters most for anyone doing marketing is Autopromozione, which says all self-promotion is banned. The only exception is the rule Per AMA e promozioni, collaborazioni, e progetti affini contattaci!, which tells you to use modmail first for promotions, verified AMAs, collaborations, and projects. If you have a survey, the rule Moduli, indagini, e poll. requires it to be anonymous, tied to a thesis or similar reason, and clearly labeled with its privacy level and data collection goal. The rule Condivisione di materiale didattico non autorizzata. matters too because sharing unauthorized books or lecture recordings leads to an immediate ban, though you can share your own notes for free.
A good post here is a genuine question or experience about Italian university life, written in Italian or English. If you are a founder, the only safe path is to message the moderators through modmail before posting anything promotional, and wait for their approval. If you have a survey, make sure it is anonymous, tied to a thesis or similar academic purpose, and clearly states its privacy level and the reason you are collecting data. You can also share your own study notes for free, since the rules allow material you produced yourself.
Any form of self-promotion will get removed under the Autopromozione rule unless you cleared it with moderators first. Sharing teaching materials you do not own, like books or lecture recordings, will get you banned immediately under the Condivisione di materiale didattico non autorizzata. rule. Posting a survey that is not anonymous, is not for a thesis, or does not explain its privacy level breaks the Moduli, indagini, e poll. rule. Offensive or discriminatory language and content is prohibited under the Non civile / offensivo rule, and misusing your flair is prohibited under the Flair offensiva rule.

No. The rule Autopromozione bans self-promotion of every kind, but the rule Per AMA e promozioni, collaborazioni, e progetti affini contattaci! says you can contact moderators via modmail to request approval for promotions, AMAs, collaborations, and projects.
Only if it is anonymous, for a thesis or similar academic purpose, and you clearly state the privacy level and the goal of the data collection. You also cannot delete an old post to repost the same survey.
Only material you created yourself, such as your own notes, shared for free. Sharing books, lecture recordings, or similar materials without permission results in an immediate ban.
The community is bilingual. The description says it is dedicated to Italian universities and students and also states that they speak English.
