International relations
An extensive network of international relations and partners
The Marco Biagi Department of Economics has set up an extensive network of international relations for research purposes, and cooperates with universities in other countries in the Erasmus + and Overseas Programmes.
By means of these Programmes, students have the opportunity to attend courses at Universities in a number of European countries and to spend time on a work placement in companies abroad. The Department also promotes scholarships for placements and dissertations abroad.
In particular, Erasmus+ aims to modernise and improve higher education across Europe and the rest of the world.
It gives students and staff opportunities to develop their skills and boost their employment prospects. Good practices will be shared between universities and businesses in Knowledge Alliances.
Higher education institutions from participating countries can work with those from neighbourhood countries, non-EU Balkan countries, Asia, Africa and Latin America to develop their educational systems.
