The university system internationalisation is one of the goals the University of Pisa aims to achieve fostering some activities such as signing agreements with EU and non-EU universities, providing education in English, awarding joint/double degrees and enhancing services for international students.
Unipi encourages the internationalisation process, inter alia, through institutional visits to partner universities and to other universities which can develop new partnerships, as well as the participation in international fairs arranged by the several agencies/recruitment companies to promote the universities' educational activity for students interested in studying abroad.
Since March 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic has, however, considerably determined a significant change also in this field imposing restrictions and difficulties in travelling on the one hand, and spreading the use of ever smarter and more accessible digital technologies on the other. International fairs have, indeed, become major online events; exhibitors' stands have given way to virtual spaces that visitors can visit at any time and on any device; meetings between exhibitors and visitors have taken the form of online appointments.
