Joint mobilities in departments dealing with similar topics can be exceptionally performed if a specific authorization by the department that has signed the interistitutional agreement is included in the acceptance letter.

Such mobility will not be financed by the University of Catania and it can take place from October to July every academic year (in August and September there is no provision of didactic activities).
