ESU Verona is the Verona-based Regional Agency for the Right to Higher Education, established under Veneto Regional Law No. 8 of 7 April 1998. Its role is to help ensure students can access university education by providing services and support that address practical and economic barriers to study. 2
The agency serves students enrolled at the University of Verona, the Academy of Fine Arts and the Music Conservatory. It also works with the University of Verona on some services. 112 Its activities include scholarships, student accommodation and university dining, alongside study and career guidance, psychological support, international mobility, transport contributions and assistance for students with disabilities. 2
ESU reports 423 beds across eight accommodation facilities, ten dining locations—five in Verona, one in San Pietro in Cariano, one in Legnago and three in Vicenza—and seven study rooms with 180 seats. 1 These services place its practical reach across several towns in the Veneto region, while its institutional role is regional. 21
The agency’s registered contact address is Via dell’Artigliere 9, Verona. 2 Its current director is Giorgio Gugole; the agency’s governing body page lists Claudio Valente as president for the board term ending 28 July 2026, so that listing does not establish who holds the presidency on the current date. 118 The statutory establishment date is known; a separate founding year is not specified. 2
