University leaders promise closer collaboration, joint projects and student exchange
France’s Conference of University Presidents (CPU) has finalised a collaboration deal with its Italian counterpart, the Italian Conference of University Rectors (CRUI).
A framework agreement, signed on 22 October, promises to enhance strategic relations between the two bodies and support joint actions between universities. As part of the deal, the bodies want to hold at least one summit annually and lay out a strategic programme every three years that will structure their projects and activities.
