In continuity with previous projects, this initiative pursued the objective of consolidating academic exchange relations, both in teaching and in research, with long-standing partners. Particular attention was devoted to Albania, which received the largest share of resources. This choice was not accidental: in addition to its geographical proximity and the historical ties with Apulia, Albania represents a privileged partner for the development of mobility programs and academic cooperation. With the numerous Albanian partners, as well as those from the other countries involved, the project aimed to: - promote student mobility; - encourage the mobility of teaching staff and technical-administrative staff for teaching activities; - strengthen the internationalization of teaching and research; - develop thematic networks in fields typical of polytechnic universities, aimed at the transfer of knowledge and good practices; - foster the joint design of future international cooperation initiatives. Several joint initiatives were carried out: workshops, conferences, seminars, scientific publications, and the development of double degree programs.
