The agreement will shape the collaboration between the EUI and Monash University, one of the most renowned academic institutions in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific region. Through the partnership, the two institutions are committed to fostering global education and research opportunities.
The goal of the agreement is to create a solid and long-term partnership, providing both academic communities with opportunities for learning, mobility, and research, whilst enhancing the EUI's relationships with Australia and its ambitions for global impact in higher education and research.
Additionally, the presence of the campus of the Monash University in Prato, together with its European Research Foundation, enhances the collaboration between the EUI and the academic environment in Italy.
The newly signed agreement will enable master students, doctoral researchers, and staff to benefit from mobility opportunities, as well as teaching opportunities for EUI doctoral candidates.
The MoU also outlines a scheme for curricular internships for students of both institutions, and the development of joint executive education, research, and events. Furthermore, it will encourage collaboration between the two alliances of European universities of which Monash University (EUtopia) and the EUI (CIVICA) are members.
Monash University is one of the top universities in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific region. Founded 60 years ago, it has more than 150 fields of research, 10 faculties, and over 4,700 graduate research students. The Monash University Prato Centre in Italy holds intensive education programmes, international research meetings, and a visual residency programme. Established in June 2022, the Monash University European Research Foundation is an independent not-for-profit research foundation that complements the University’s activities in Prato, Italy.
