Submitting a new Agreement
Necessary documentation to be sent to to the International Agreements Unit:
- Online request form (in Italian);
- Board resolution authorising the request;
- A letter of interest of the partner University, signed by the Rector, the academic or administrative authority in charge, to be emailed to the International Office - International Agreements Unit within 15 days prior to March 31, June 30 and October 31 each year.
The International Agreements Unit will then verify the truthfulness and conformity of the required qualifications and submits the proposals received, also from foreign universities, to the Academic Senate for approval.
RENEWAL OF AN EXPIRED AGREEMENT
The criteria established for a new stipulation apply to renewal, i.e., shared interest with several Sapienza structures, high reputation of the partner University, sharing of Sapienza's values etc.
If the requirements mentioned above are met, the request is submitted to the Academic Senate by March 31, June 30, and October 31 each year through the International Agreements Unit, to which the necessary documentation must be sent (i.e. approval of the scientific supervisor's structure and a report on the activities carried out and those to be carried out).
If the requirements mentioned above are not met, the ongoing collaborations will be continued by the structures involved. The renewal is, in any case, subject to the sharing of Sapienza values as set out in the Statute.
