The City

Trieste is a city and port in northeastern Italy near the Slovenian border.

The University

The University of Trieste (Università degli Studi di Trieste, UNITS) is a medium-sized university in Trieste in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. The university consists of 12 faculties, boasts a wide and almost complete range of university courses and currently has about 23,000 students enrolled and 1,000 professors. It is a relatively young Institution (80 years old) compared to other Italian Universities.

The historical international vocation of the University of Trieste is witnessed by its intense and high-level activity: Trieste is the centre of many research facilities, with which the University is connected.

The number of international inter-university co-operation agreements rapidly increased these last years. These agreements involve staff and student mobility, both within EU Programs like the Socrates programand agreements exclusively concerned with research activities.
