The first Erasmus International Credit
Mobility project, managed by Università IULM as the lead partner, has yielded highly satisfactory results.
The KA171 program, part of the EU's broader initiative to promote international collaboration and academic exchange with non-EU countries, has fostered strong partnerships with Kazakh Ablai Khan University of International
Relations and World Languages and Uzbekistan
State World Languages University.
Since 2023, the project has facilitated the exchange of 8 students and 6 faculty members between these Central Asian universities and IULM. Through this collaboration, 5 IULM students completed internships in Uzbekistan as teaching assistants, helping Russian-speaking students learn Italian, while four students had the opportunity to study abroad in Kazakhstan.
These recognitions are particularly significant, as they provide a valuable European benchmark for Università IULM’s ongoing internationalization efforts, reinforcing its position as a leading institution in the global educational landscape.
