To strengthen cooperation with global partners, Luiss University supports up to 15 faculty exchanges.

 International Chairs may conduct research, teach, and engage in international cooperation across all of Luiss's departments and schools.

During the mobility period, Luiss faculty are called upon to strengthen existing partnerships or launch new ones with internationally renowned universities, research centers, foreign companies, and institutions.

The mobility program is structured as a two-way, reciprocal exchange. Luiss faculty apply jointly with a foreign scholar, and each application includes a visit by the foreign scholar to Luiss and a visit by the Luiss faculty to the foreign institution, with costs shared.

Luiss faculty nominate their international counterparts (professor and university) and apply jointly.

The application must include the following information:

• CVs of the two professors
• Planned activities
  • Teaching program
  • Partnership development
• Period during which the exchange will occur
• Funding formula

Incoming professors are expected to:

• Stay at Luiss for a minimum of two weeks and up to four weeks. Longer visits can be arranged under special circumstances.
• Give lectures and seminars that are fully consistent with the purpose of the program

Please note that each university may only accept one outgoing international chair.

The selection committee will be chaired by the Deputy Rector for Internationalization.

The academic committee may suggest alternative academic partnerships based on the proposed topic.

International chairs will be funded by both institutions, with each institution preferably covering the costs of its own faculty members.
