Progetti di ricerca

The project operates in four EU countries (Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, and Slovenia) to expand and consolidate complementary education pathways for refugees through higher education. It builds on existing initiatives, launches new pilots, and scales up enrolment, while testing national sustainability… Leggi tutto models that allow sharing of methods and good practices. A strong focus is placed on quality - ensuring that access translates into retention, graduation, and employment - through a common monitoring framework that enables cross-country learning while preserving national specificities. In Italy, the project consolidates UNICORE university corridors with preparatory sessions and a dedicated monitoring system, while piloting bachelor’s programmes in the health sector. In Slovenia, annual intakes expand from 2 up to 15 students, and a long-term sustainability plan is developed. Germany is strengthening its university programme with Uganda and exploring a TVET pilot from Uganda. In Bulgaria, the first university corridors are launched: after one year of mentoring, 6 students will be admitted over two years. The project mobilises universities, campus communities, local authorities, and private sector actors to co-design and co-own the pathways, strengthening multi-stakeholder ownership and long-term viability. By providing comprehensive support from pre-departure to post-arrival and throughout the first academic year, it ensures that refugee students not only gain access but also succeed in completing their studies and transitioning to employment. At the EU level, it contributes evidence-based and scalable models, inclusive curricula, and safe legal admission channels that respond to labour-market needs while promoting durable integration and socio-economic empowerment.
