Bilateral agreements

The University of Padova has numerous relationships with universities and other international institutions with the aim of developing teaching and research activities, encouraging the exchange of teachers, students, and promoting innovation.

During 2025, new Guidelines for International Partnerships have been developed (available on this page), with the aim of providing the University of Padova with a unitary and coherent framework for the identification, development, approval, monitoring and review of collaborations in the educational field with non-European partners and with European partners for agreements other than Erasmus+ (for Erasmus+ agreements please refer to this page).
In line with the University's 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, the document recognises international partnerships as essential tools to promote excellence in education, the growth of students and staff, and the University's international positioning. To this end, it introduces an approach based on quality rather than quantity of collaborations, and on principles of accountability and strategic alignment.

For University of Padova staff, please refer to the intranet of the International Relations Area (ari.unipd.it - access with SSO) for complete documentation and more details.
Structures interested in proposing a new agreement or renewing an existing one can contact the Projects and Mobility Office - Strategic Partnerships Sector using the contact details indicated at the bottom of the page.
