The University of Padova “promotes the furthering of culture founded on universal values such as human rights, peace, respect for the environment and international solidarity” (Article 1 of its Statutes, 1995). The international dimension of the University is not only witnessed by many spontaneous activities, such as the countless research cooperation projects individually promoted by teachers and researchers and the teaching now offered to as many as 1,500 regularly enrolled foreign students, but also by the existence of several bilateral agreements of ‘traditional’ type, extensive participation in European programmes for research and education, cooperation with developing countries, and – last, but not least – by committed participation in the project activities of the Coimbra Group (the network of historical European universities) as well as other excellence networks.
Internationalisation has always been an important priority for the University of Padova. With more than 100 bilateral agreements, the University has established long-standing relationships with Higher Education Institutions all over the world, not only in Europe but also in Africa, North and South America, Asia and the Middle East, aimed at encouraging international exchanges of teaching and administrative staff as well as students at all degree levels. These bilateral agreements reflect various forms of cooperation, which also include activities such as joint publications and exchange of information, to improve academic cooperation.

The University of Padova is participating in the three Scholarship Programmes which the Coimbra Group has been offering in the last few years to young professors and/or researchers from specific geographical areas, which have enjoyed considerable popularity among the target groups:
- Scholarship Programme for Young African Researchers
- Scholarship Programme for Young Professors and Researchers from Latin American Universities
- Scholarship Programme for Young Researchers from Eastern Neighbouring Countries
The universities of the Coimbra Group participating in these programmes offer short-term visits to young researchers from HEIs located in the above geographic areas. The programme is mainly aimed at enabling scholars to undertake research projects in the same field in which they are engaged in their home institution and at helping them to establish academic and research contacts. The number of candidates who apply every year for a scholarship at the University of Padova for each of the three programmes is steadily increasing.
For information and application please refer to: www.coimbra-group.eu
Attention to developing countries has risen considerably thanks to Erasmus Mundus Action 2 (former External Cooperation Window), the European Commission programme designed to foster institutional cooperation in the field of higher education between the European Union and developing countries, through a mobility scheme addressing student and academic exchanges for studying, teaching, training and research.
Participating countries are grouped together in geographical areas called lots. Each project is coordinated by a European University and offers scholarships for the targeted mobilities from and to that geographical area.
Until now, the University of Padova has been involved in 12 successful projects and is currently coordinating two of them (artess and BAPE). These projects have enabled the University of Padova to expand its network of international relationships to Asia and Latin America.
The University of Padova welcomes outstanding international scientists.
Proposals must be presented only by professors or researchers of the University of Padova, who are "inviting" the international scholars. Visits generally last 1 to 2 months.
