Accordo per la mobilità internazionale degli studenti (Student exchange Agreement)
Tale tipologia di accordi norma la modalità di collaborazione con università internazionali (non europee, in quanto la mobilità studenti in area EU è normata dagli accordi specifici previsti nell’ambito del programma Erasmus+) finalizzata alla mobilità di studenti sui livelli Laurea e Laurea Magistrale.
L’accordo è strutturato in un atto generale e in uno (o più) addendum specifici per singolo corso di studi coinvolto nella mobilità studentesca, sottoscritti anche in momenti diversi.
Può essere sottoscritto il solo accordo generale, ma per l’avvio della mobilità degli studenti è necessaria la stipula dello specifico addendum.
