Note
The Compostela Group of Universities made available grants in 2014 to encourage cross-continental mobility (Universities in Mexico, the USA, Peru, and the Dominican Republic). All those interested had to submit an application form by 31st January 2014 at the latest to the International Relations Unit, to the attention of Maria Ciavarella.
In case more than 2 application forms had been submitted, the International Relations Unit would have selected the applications received, following the criteria established by an ad hoc Committee. The Compostela Network of Universities was then in charge of further selecting all the application forms submitted by the partner universities in Europe.
