The partnership between the EUI and ABAFI aims to promote and implement collaborative initiatives and activities in areas of mutual interest, including history and civilisation, humanities, and cultural heritage.
Under the newly signed agreement, the two universities will focus on joint projects, shared initiatives in the field of research and training, and on the exchanges of professors, students, researchers, and administrative staff for training purposes.
The partnership between the EUI and ABAFI also aims to promote interactions between research, production, dissemination, and artistic, scientific, tourist, cultural, and humanistic institutions present in the region of Tuscany. The partnership will further focus on the implementation of exhibition design, curatorship, and event planning projects, such as the participation of the Academy students' at the Historical Archives of the European Union's Open Day.
Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, a leading institution of higher education, specialisation, and research in the artistic sector, has, among its statutory aims, the pursuit of artistic education at various levels, as well as the development of international cooperation for educational, artistic, and research activities.
