Erasmus+ and International Mobility

Through agreements with universities in other countries, regularly enrolled students, faculty, and staff can spend time abroad to study, work, learn about other cultures, and engage with other educational systems.

Erasmus+ is the European Union's programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport, established for the period 2021-2027. It is divided into various actions, aimed at promoting individual mobility, cooperation between organizations and institutions, support for policy development and cooperation. 
In particular, Action 1 "Individual mobility for learning purposes" (KA131 and KA171), thanks to interinstitutional agreements signed with universities in other European and non-European countries, offers students and recent graduates the opportunity to take courses, take exams in another higher education institution and practice an internship in a company abroad. It also allows teachers and technical-administrative staff to carry out a period of teaching or training abroad.

The Action supports the following mobility activities, which can take place between Programme Countries or from a Programme Country to any Partner Country in the world:

Student mobility

Mobility for professors and researchers

Mobility for technical-administrative staff

• Unifi staff - outgoing (info on the Intranet portal)
• International staff - incoming

Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP)

Erasmus+ KA131

The action, also called International Credit Mobility (ICM), offers the opportunity for students and teaching and administrative staff to carry out international mobility beyond European borders, thanks to the participation of the so-called Partner countries (third countries not associated to the Programme), thus strengthening the attractiveness of European universities and at the same time expanding the offer of possible destinations.

Italian Erasmus, aimed at providing scholarships for participation in mobility programs for study on the national territory.

The Free Mover mobility programme is aimed at students enroled in a First Cycle (bachelor's)  degree, Second Cycle (master's) degree, Single Cycle degree, and PhD who wish to undertake international mobility independently at a foreign institution, organizing their own study period.

The University of Florence has drawn up numerous cultural cooperation agreements with foreign universities involving student exchanges.

The University annually assigns financial contributions to its students to encourage international mobility for study in non-EU countries with which collaboration agreements are in force.
