The Institution “Academy of Fine Arts of Perugia” takes actively part in the Erasmus Programme since 1993 as being one of the first Italian Institutions of the Higher Education Art and Music System (AFAM) to acknowledge the fundamental
opportunity represented by this programme for promoting the mobility of both incoming and outgoing students and
academic staff.
Our Institution always carries out a thorough analysis for the creation and implementation of further partnerships using
specific Preliminary Visits and OM actions of the Erasmus Coordinators. These actions have successfully brought to new
fruitful inter-institutional agreements such as those lately signed with the Universities of Porto and Lisboa.
Moreover, the strategic position of the Academy, located at the centre of an international multi-cultural didactic Pole, with
the Università degli Studi of Perugia, the Italian University for Foreigners and the Conservatorio Statale di Musica,
synergistically connected, is also leading to the creation of new programs of collaboration aiming at offering the possibility,
to both students and staff coming from many different European countries but also from non-European countries (such as
China), to find in our didactic programmes a fusion between the most important artistic traditions and innovative didactic
activities and training especially in the field of design and of new artistic, technological and multimedia languages.
Given the extremely positive results obtained in terms of personal satisfaction of students and professional skills acquired,
our Academy firmly intends to carry out and reinforce this commitment for the years to come trying to maximize the efforts
to respond to the demand for research and innovation. In fact, in these last years the cooperation with the Institutions
abroad has always been renewed and has become more and more successful thanks to the in-depth knowledge of the
specificities of each Partner. In some cases the initial cooperation in the framework of the Erasmus project has progressed and has led to the development of further didactic side- projects (such as workshops and seminars with many participants coming from abroad).
The objectives of the Academy are:
-to widen the access to professional areas and to give the possibility of a more specialized training to students;
-a thorough analysis of themes related to new artistic, technological and multimedia languages;
-the creation of new professions in the field of contemporary arts through the training of people able to organize and
promote exhibitions and cultural events, of experts in the management of art markets as well as publicists able to use the
new means of communication offered by information technology and telecommunication.
