International Academics

The University of Florence (Unifi) cooperates with academic and research institutions across the world and welcomes visiting academics to enhance its cultural and scientific international calibre.

For this purpose Unifi promotes the visit of highly qualified professors, researchers and scholars from abroad, as they will carry out their activity inside a Department or School of reference. To support them with their incoming procedures Unifi has made available a Welcome Service within the International Relations Office.
