Every year UniTrento sponsors 3 Short-Term Programmes for International Students – STP4IS, organized in the form of Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes-BIPs. The purpose of these Summer and Winter Schools is to strengthen partnerships with international universities, encourage incoming mobility, recruit new students, and make UniTrento known all over the world.

The BIP format consists of:

• a combination of physical (for at least 5 days) and virtual activities;
• a cultural and social programme including face-to-face activities and visits;
• an interdisciplinary, innovative, challenge-based approach;
• the award of a Certificate of Attendance and of a Transcript of Records with at least 3 credits for the participants who attended all the activities.

A Learning Agreement is required if you benefit from a scholarship.

• SLICE Summer School - Stories of Linguistic and Cultural Encounters
  From 23 June to 4 July 2025, Department of Humanities, Trento;
• NEMESI Summer School - Narration of Explorative Maps and Virtual Experience of Architectural Spaces. Imagine Trento

The online application form and information on the procedure and deadlines can be found on the pages of each programme.

There are 25 places available for applications from students enrolled in the partner universities of UniTrento. Up to 2 students from UniTrento will be accepted should there still be available places when the application phase closes.

The candidates are selected by the academic coordinators of each School.

Students from partner universities are granted a fee waiver.

If you participate in the framework of the Erasmus+ K131 Programme or the ICM K171 Programme, you can also apply for a scholarship for short-term mobility. Ask your International Office for details.

The participants must cover their own expenses for:

• meals: approximately between 6 and 9 euros in the university canteen, 15-30 euros at a café or restaurant, less if you cook by yourself or with others;
• accommodation: approximately 35 euros/day in shared accommodation, tips to find a place to stay will be sent to prospective participants;
• travel costs;
• transportation expenses once you arrive at UniTrento and the surrounding area, unless you get a Trentino Guest Card from your host;
• visa and health insurance (non-EU citizens).

The pages dedicated to STPs4IS are constantly updated with details on the programme, deadlines, admission requirements, pre-arrival information, and links to the online application.

Online information sessions are held:

• in mid-March for each Summer School;
• in mid-September for each Winter School.

The date of the session and the link to register will be made available on the page of each School.
