General Information
L’Università Italo Francese (UIF) a été instaurée par l’Accord international signé le 6 octobre 1998 lors du sommet franco-italien de Florence. L'Accord a été approuvé, en Italie, par la loi 161/2000 et ratifié par le Président de la République Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. L'UIF est un acteur important du plan stratégique d'internationalisation du système universitaire européen. Le siège de l’UIF se trouve à Turin. Son représentant est un Secrétaire, nommé par le Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca italien. L’UIF reçoit de son Ministère de tutelle, le MIUR, une subvention de financement annuelle d’environ 1 million euros dont la quasi totalité est redistribuée sous forme de subventions aux Universités, de soutiens et bourses de mobilité pour les doctorants en cotutelle et cofinancements de projets de recherche scientifiques binationaux.
Mission and Objectives

C'est une des protagonistes de la nouvelle culture de la coopération en Europe, dont le but est de susciter et accompagner toute sorte de collaboration entre la France et l'Italie dans le domaine de l'enseignement universitaire, de la recherche et de la culture.
L’UIF se propose en particulier de:
* Développer les échanges universitaires entre les deux pays,
*Rendre compatibles les deux systèmes d'enseignement supérieur et favoriser leurs synergies,
* Aider à l'émergence de projets scientifiques et pédagogiques innovants,
* Favoriser la mobilité des enseignants-chercheurs, des chercheurs et des étudiants à la fois vers les universités et vers les entreprises,
* Collaborer avec d'autres réseaux interuniversitaires euro-méditerranéens.
L'UIF n'organise directement aucune activité d'enseignement, de recherche, n'accueille pas d'étudiants et ne délivre aucun diplôme ; elle agit comme tête de réseau dans les échanges universitaires franco-italiens.

Main Projects / Activities

A travers son appel à projets Vinci, l’UIF finance:
- cursus intégrés binationaux de niveau Licence et Master
- bourses d'études triennales pour les doctorants en cotutele
- la mobilité des doctorants en cotutele et des étudiants en médecine italiens vers la France
Elle soutient par ailleurs des conférences, formations, manifestations culturelles par son Label UIF-UFI et subventionne la mobilité des chercheurs français et italiens, avec l’appel à projets Galileo, géré en collaboration avec l’agence ministériel française Egide.
Par ailleurs, l'UIF contribue à la mise à jour d'une base de données des accords universitaires bilatéraux.
En étroite collaboration avec les services des Ministères des Affaires étrangères et de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche, l’UIF opère comme promoteur et médiateur privilégié de la coopération universitaire et scientifique franco-italienne. L’un de ses objectifs prioritaires, fixé par l’Accord de 1998, est la contribution au dialogue interculturel et l’intensification des échanges universitaires au sein de l’espace Euroméditerranée.
