Partnership Between Italian and British Universities Grows; Embassy Promotes Dialogue
(ANSA) - LONDRA, 11 SET - Strengthening collaboration and dialogue between universities on the island and the peninsula: this is the goal of a new initiative supported by the Italian Embassy in London, which this week hosted the Italy-UK University Partnership Day, an event organized in collaboration with the Uni-Italia association to foster partnerships between universities and AFAM institutions (Higher Education in Art, Music, and Dance) and provide updates on the United Kingdom’s re-enrollment in the Erasmus+ program. Deputy Head of Mission Riccardo Smimmo opened the proceedings by highlighting the great international appeal of both the British and Italian university systems and emphasizing the value of Erasmus+, a program that offers students and academics particularly enriching professional and personal experiences. The panel, moderated by Professor Giuseppe Kito Fusai, featured representatives from Uni-Italia, Indire, and the British Council. Marco Calvi, head of the international promotion and marketing unit at Uni-Italia, presented the association’s activities. Founded to attract international students to Italy, the association now also supports institutions in establishing academic partnerships. Next to speak were Sara Pagliai, director of Indire—the national agency responsible for managing Erasmus+ in Italy—and Eduardo Ramos, director of university systems and internationalization at the British Council, which manages Erasmus+ for the United Kingdom. Both highlighted the goal of increasing British student mobility to levels even higher than those seen before Brexit. Italy has recently surpassed France and Germany to become the second most popular destination in the world (after Spain) for international students, and the fourth for British students. The internationalization of the academic system in the UK remains very high, with international students accounting for about 25% of the student body, while one in three faculty members comes from abroad. There are also 700,000 “transnational” students studying at overseas campuses of British universities. Sam Herman-Wilson, from the UK Department for Education, outlined London’s priorities regarding Erasmus+: the main goal is to create valuable experiences for participants and forge links between the education systems of different countries. Andy Burnham’s government also aims to make the initiative more inclusive and accessible, offering maximum flexibility to encourage participation by students and staff with special needs or financial constraints, or those from remote areas. At the end of the discussion, representatives from the approximately 40 institutions in attendance held a networking session to explore opportunities for collaboration and partnerships.
