Part of the International policy of the University is to sign International Agreements between universities to enhance the cultural and scientific collaborations with Academic Institutions in the world.
International Interuniversitary Agreements mainly promote and encourage research and/or teaching activities between Sapienza and the partner Institution, through exchanges of teachers, researchers, PhDs and students.

The General Agreement of cultural and scientific cooperation expresses a
“general interest” in promoting and developing collaboration between Sapienza
and the partner institutions from all over the world, and it’s signed by the
Rectors.
The implementation of the “general interest” is achieved through:
• the negotiation and signature of an Executive protocol aimed at supporting
teachers, researchers and PhD students’ mobility within a single or more
areas of research or teaching; it’s signed by the responsibles of the
involved structures;
• the negotiation and signature of an Additional protocol aimed at supporting
in- and outgoing students’ mobility from/towards Sapienza towards/from
higher education institutions outside the EU.

Sapienza University of Rome International Agreements: standard operating procedures
The proposal for the stipulation of a new International Interuniversity
Agreement may be submitted by a structure within Sapienza University
of Rome (Faculty or Department) or may arrive from a foreign University.
According to the Guidelines 2012, our Unit provides for the verification of
the requested requirements and presents submitted proposals to the
Academic Senate for approval.
In case of approval, our Unit can begin the process of negotiating the
text and, upon successful conclusion of the proceedings, Agreements
are signed in two certified original copies in English, or the languages of
the contracting countries with a certified copy in English.
Sapienza templates are available on our site:
