The University of L’Aquila – Project Leader
UNIVAQ is a public teaching and research institution offering a full range of academic programmes with 7 Departments which provide Bachelor, Master and Ph.D Programmes in the areas of Sciences, Medicine, Engineering, Humanities, Psychology, Economics, Educational Sciences, Sport Sciences and Biotechnologies. Situated in the historical city of L’Aquila, the University offers its over 20,000 enrolled students 69 degree courses (divided between first and second level degrees), 9 research doctorate programmes, specialisation schools and other post-graduate courses and vocational courses. Currently the administrative and technical personnel of the University consists in over 500 staff members and a distinguished faculty of over 600 professors and researchers, many of whom have received international recognition and are considered leaders in their fields of research. Moreover, the University also boasts 2 Centres of Excellence (CETEMPS, DEWS) and 3 interdepartmental Research Centres, all known worldwide. UNIVAQ considers international cooperation fundamental to fulfil its participation in EHEA and ERA. One of its aims has been that of becoming a reference point for globalised knowledge in higher education and research through cooperation with universities and research institutions, both within and outside the EU. The “International Project Office” supports academic staff in preparing and managing projects and disseminates results and experiences to all University bodies. The office, in cooperation with IRO, has implemented several International projects in the fields of education, research and cooperation (LLP, international degrees, EMA2, EMA1, TEMPUS, ESF, Italy-France, EC-Canada, Marie Curie, FPs, Life, Interreg IIIA,B,C, IVC, etc.). The internationalisation process has given rise to 6 international degrees, 1 Erasmus Mundus Master degree, 11 Erasmus Mundus Action 2, acting as coordinator in two (target countries in all continents). The university is currently managing (as a coordinator or partner) several FP7/Horizon projects and agreements with institutions from all over the world. The quality of degree courses in all the engineering sectors (energy, building and materials, waste recycling, …) represents a key part of research and teaching and a fundamental topic of public interest in the ongoing phase of reconstruction following the earthquake that hit the city of L’Aquila in 2009.
