International exchanges

In today’s globalised world, Horizon 2020 calls for the need to build and develop both a European Research Area and strategic cooperation agreements with thrid countries. This is part and parcel with the cultural and social challenges that the world of research is facing in our globalised world, in line with the aims of the 7th Framework Programme, which fosters cooperation with ‘third countries’ with a view to: 

• increasing European competitiveness in key sectors through strategic partnership with third countries and actions aimed to encourage their best scientists to work in and with Europe;
• tackling specific issues having a global dimension or affecting third countries on the basis of mutual interest and benefit. 

To this end, the networks established by the PhD in Human Mind and Gender Studies go beyond the EU level and encompass universities and research centres from third countries, whose teaching staff actively contributes to the PhD board activities with their lectures and seminars, or promoting teacher and student exchange programmes and work placements.
