Connected to the world

With the free movement of students and research staff, ideas circulate and knowledge spreads: crossing borders means growth and promotion of exchange, and development. For this reason, the Normale has established, and is constantly expanding, a network of collaborations with national and international institutes and actively participates in two-way mobility programmes. Integrating students and researchers from all over the world into the SNS community and encouraging off-site experiences (in Italy or abroad) of its students and research staff is a fundamental value that is expressed in well defined objectives and policies.
