18 Years of Building Relationships...
As a component of FIU’s Global Initiative to internationalize, the challenge for the well-established program in Genoa, with 18 years in operation and over 620 FIU students participating as of summer 2023, is to develop a new level of opportunity for FIU students and faculty across disciplines, departments and colleges by furthering our strong relationships with local institutions in academia, culture, industry and government. In cooperation with our Italian partners the program is expanding its scope to become a nexus of student and faculty interaction in Italy and beyond that advances FIU’s international profile through mutually beneficial engagement with diverse local communities.
...and interacting with students of UniGe and from other countries....
