The University of Naples “Federico II” sees internationalization as a preeminent engagement for the near future, in the awareness that the interchange of ideas and international cooperation are a primary propulsion for research, teaching and innovation quality. Coherently with this perspective, the COINOR (Athaeneum Centre for Communication and Innovative Organization) has undertaken as its primary role the support for international services. A Web site, Unina International, has been set up as a practical tool for the research and didactics diffusion, while cooperation agreements with several European, American and Asian Countries and a consortium for the institution of international PhD have been recently reached.

The University “Federico II” has also contributed to the implementation of the side deal recently stipulated between Campania and China. Under suggestion of the Embassy of Italy in China, the attention hasn’t fallen on congested cities as Beijing or Shanghai, but on the areas with features similar to the Campania setting, such as Tianjin or the Zhejiang Province, to produce cultural and economic synergies. The favoured topics for the creation of cooperation channels are: Transports, Urban Regeneration, Tourism, University Cooperation, Commercial Promotion and Industrial Cooperation.
The Universities of Architecture and Engineering of Naples have recently welcomed, for an annual stage, Professors and Researchers of Tianjin University, proving the mutual interest in profitable cooperation.
