Inclusive International Mobility: Our Strategy
In full alignment with the principles of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) and the directives of the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) [2021/817], our Institution promotes internationalization as a right accessible to all, actively dismantling economic, social, physical, and cultural barriers.
Our strategy is built upon equity and hospitality, ensuring that study and traineeship experiences abroad represent a tangible opportunity for our entire student body and academic staff.
