Six Italian universities, including the Politecnico di Milano came together on 8 October to sign, in the virtual presence of the Minister of Universities and Scientific research, Gaetano Manfredi, the certificate of incorporation of the Foundation “Italian Higher Education with Africa”.
Foundation "Italian Higher Education with Africa".
The aim of the project is to promote the internationalization of Universities in Africa and contribute towards local development through cooperation.
For Italian Universities it is increasingly important to develop teaching and training and help students resident in African countries to specialize using suitable interdisciplinary scientific methods, as well as to promote support networks, staff and teaching staff refresher courses for local universities.
An initial stage of the project has already started: during the current semester some African universities will be able to select a preset number of students who can take part in a number of online courses by Italian universities.
