ISSNAF Mobility Program

The ISSNAF Mobility Program facilitates academic and research mobility placements for Italian university students and researchers at institutions across North America. It works through formal partnerships (MoUs and implementation letters) with Italian universities to provide a catalogue of hosting opportunities among ISSNAF members and affiliates. Partner institutions issue calls to select candidates, while ISSNAF assists applicants in identifying suitable hosts and supports administrative arrangements such as visas and insurance. The programme covers mobility for activities including master's theses and advanced research projects within PhD programmes.
