Visiting professors
"A Visiting Professor is a high scientific and/or professional personality, belonging to foreign universities, institutions, companies or research entities. He holds teaching positions at the University of Pavia or is assigned co-teaching roles, modules, lecture series, seminars or other curricular or supplementary educational activities within a study program offered by UNIPV."
The University of Pavia is pleased to host professors from all over the world for a teaching period, because we recognize the invaluable role of internationalisation in enriching our educational offerings. We also believe that welcoming teaching staff from diverse backgrounds and experiences enriches the learning environment for our students and fosters a dynamic exchange of perspectives, leading to a more inclusive and globally aware academic community.
Becoming a Visiting Professor at our institution is possible only by invitation. Therefore, if you do not have a contact person yet, in order to facilitate your invitation process we recommend that you find an appropriate contact by visiting unipv.unifind.cineca.it

Summer&Winter Schools are high-quality intensive courses organised by UNIPV in collaboration with academics or professionals affiliated with foreign universities, institutions or research centres. Half of the school’s teaching staff must meet these criteria to ensure an international environment and, in most cases, the use of a language other than Italian.
The schools, with a maximum duration of four weeks, are organised in various fields and are preferably interdisciplinary.
They are intended for different types of participants (post-graduate and PhD students, researchers, professionals and public or private employees) and they can assign training credits (ECTS) to be recognized in post-graduate study programs or for continuing education.
