The International Relations and Study Abroad Service is responsible for coordinating and promoting mobility programs, cultivating relations with swissuniversities, the national agency Movetia, and the State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation. It fosters partnerships with universities abroad and manages grants for SEMP students, lecturers, and staff, as well as other funding for mobility-related programs.
Furthermore, the Service engages in international initiatives aimed at enriching the cultural diversity of the USI community, promoting awareness and debate on migration and integration issues, and offering opportunities for ‘internationalisation at home’.
Finally, it acts as the Swiss-Italian liaison for the Swiss Confederation's Scholarship of Excellence programme, the Scholars at Risk network, the Euraxess initiative, and the InclUSIone initiative. Additionally, the Service provides support in the development and management of institutional agreements with international universities and of double and joint degree programmes.
