The University of Pavia and EDiSU (Institute of the Right to University Studies) are offering CICOPS scholarships to visiting scholars for the year 2023 for a period of stay for weeks at the University of Pavia.
CICOPS is committed to human and institutional development in developing countries. This aim is achieved by offering young people the chance to grow and contribute to the development of their countries. After thirty-five years of experience in the fields of cooperation and development, it is clear to us that joint study and research projects help both developed and developing countries. With this in mind, CICOPS is working towards creating an ever-growing network of international contacts, including foreign universities, governments, and international non-governmental organizations. University cooperation is fundamental for diffusing knowledge as well as promoting dialogue and peace.
