Unifi Include

Access for students seeking asylum and international protection
In January 2020, the University of Florence joined the Inclusive University Manifesto promoted by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to “foster refugee access to university education and research, and promote social integration and active participation in academic life.”
In order to fulfill these objectives, the University is committed to promoting access to education for international students, with lines of action aimed at beneficiaries of international protection. It is also committed to ensuring the academic freedom of researchers and teachers.
