The courses will allow you to obtain first ITS diplomas which are:
- Obtained at the end of a two-year course of study and international work;
- Validated or to be validated in all partner states;
- Recognized by the partner universities for a possible continuation of their studies and for obtaining a short degree.
Our Inital Partners are :
Universities, Professional Institutes, Ngos, Chambers of Commerce, Technology Parks, Business Incubators and Innovative Start-ups with offices in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, France, Slovenia, Turkey, Canada, Argentina and Chile.
Our goal is, however, to extend our network in most of Europe and have a decent presence in the rest of the world.
