International Credit Mobility
For 30 years now, Europe has been funding the Erasmus programme, which has allowed over 3 million European students to spend part of their studies in a higher education institution (HEI) other than their own, throughout Europe.
Since 2015, Erasmus has opened its doors to the rest of the world, providing people and organizations from non-European countries with the opportunity to participate in the programme. Through key action 1 of the program (KA 107 and KA 171) International Credit Mobility – International Credit Mobility (ICM), students and members of the teaching and administrative staff can carry out a period of mobility in partner countries from other continents.
Students can get abroad recognized training credits in their country of origin, acquire new ones skills, support your own professional development and learn to understand new cultures through comparison with societies and ways of living different from those typical of the European continent.
COMMO
COMMO is a consortium made up of 16 Italian universities and of which UNIMED he is the leader.
Since 2015, the COMMO Consortium has been promoting mobility exchanges of university staff and students through the call KA171, previously KA107, of the Erasmus+ Programme. Within the consortium, bilateral agreements have been stipulated with numerous universities in partner countries such as Albania, Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Montenegro, Tunisia.
