The programme is geared towards Italian and foreign scholars and experts of clear scientific renown hailing from universities, research institutions, or institutions of higher education both Italian and international. Visiting professors may also be invited based on specific international agreements executed by the University. The professors will be invited to provide academic instruction within the University. The visiting professor is invited to stay up to one month and to provide at least sixteen (16) hours of teaching and/or seminar activities to be carried out on an ongoing basis within the coursework for a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or single-cycle degree programme, and doctoral programmes.
The University of Milan is a member of the international network Scholars at Risk" (SAR), an initiative that supports foreign scholars and experts who are not able to research or teach in their own country, due to threats, detention, intimidations and clear violations of their basic fundamental rights.
