International development cooperation

The University of Ferrara shows its outstanding international character establishing privileged and cooperative
relationships with scientific and educational institutions and other organisations throughout the world.

Multilateral cooperation with several Universities and other organisations aims to share and join scientific competence
and direct experience as well as to develop innovative projects in educational and research areas. Moreover, it promotes
mutual comprehension and liaisons between people and nations.

Many cooperation projects with foreign universities and other institutions offer our students and researchers the opportunity to
study and work abroad and foreign students and researchers the chance to increase their experience in Ferrara.

Our University is involved in the ERASMUS  project and in other activities concerning international students mobility, both in
European and extra-European countries.

We regularly take part in the main  international research networks such as the Framework Programmes for Research
and Technological Development of the European Union.

The University of Ferrara is the headquarters of several prestigious Research and Service Centres dedicated to
high level and advanced research, rooted in the international context.

Through its Centre for International Development Cooperation, the University of Ferrara promotes, coordinates and
carries out projects, at scientific, didactical, cultural, technological innovation and assistance level relevant to developing
countries.
