Call for a student representative to join the USI International Relations Commission

Would you like to join the International Relations Commission as a student representative? The Commission aims to support USI internationalization strategy and promote the International Relations and Study Abroad Service activities.

A large number of international students, researchers, and academic staff members, the strong network of relations with all other Swiss universities and with many foreign universities allowing institutional relations and scientific collaborations, the offer of study programmes jointly organized with selected partner universities, and the wide range of courses offered in English, are proofs of the value USI places on "internationalization".

On the assumptions that the valuable initiatives carried out to date should be maintained and an approach of openness to new ideas will be adopted, for the period 2025-2028, three main objectives have been identified:

1. Strengthen USI's international position and visibility and place it in the appropriate university network(s);
2. Increase the presence of foreign students with particular attention to the diversification of the countries of origin;
3. Raise awareness about the importance of an international dimension among USI community.

The commission meets once per semester. 

If interested in being part of the commission representing the USI student community, please send your CV and a brief motivation message by 15 October 2024 to: [email protected].
