BIU, founded in 1955, is one of Israel's leading HEIs, uniquely combining cutting-edge scientific research with education steeped in Jewish values and social responsibility. BIU is collaborating with over 90 HEIs across 26 EU countries, even in the framework of E+ Programme. The cooperation within the KA171 aligns closely with the strategic research goals of both institutions, particularly in the fields of genomics, gene expression in the immune system, health and disease, molecular biology, and nutrigenomics, under the lent of a strong and shared commitment to holistic healthcare research. 

 

HUJI is Israel’s top HEI, ranked among the world’s 100 leading universities. With its 315 academic departments, HUJI is a leader in bringing about change in the global community, through its groundbreaking research in fields such as agriculture, environmental quality, and public health. HUJI shares common fields of didactic and research with UNICAM, namely genomics and bioinformatics, biotechnology, sciences, veterinary, pharmacy, and law. The academic cooperation between UNICAM and HUJI started in 2016 in the field of nutrigenomics and continued with professors’ exchanges on common research topics. Now the 2 HEIs want to make a step further structuring an Institutional cooperation that embraces both Biosciences and Pharmacy areas.

 

BAAD, established in 1906, is known for its excellence in educating and enriching generations of aspiring artists, designers and architects; and for inspiring original thought, furthering tolerance and for promoting freedom of expression and creative liberty that expand cultural horizons and impact conventional beliefs. The academic relationship between BAAD and UNICAM started in 2004. Over the years the cooperation has been maintained with a focus on ecological products’ development, energy saving, circular design and safety projects in case of environmental risk. This project will create a permanent bridge between BAAD and UNICAM School of Architecture and Design, allowing the deepening of common research on the topics listed above.

- Incoming Staff Mobility for Training

Prof. Lior Ytzhak Lobel - Bar-Ilan University (BIU) → University of Camerino

During a one-week staff training mobility at the University of Camerino, the participant took part in scientific meetings and exchanges and attended the 6th European Summer School on Nutrigenomics, “Omics Approaches to Early-Life Programming of Adult Health”.

The Summer School brought together students, researchers and academics from different countries to explore cutting-edge approaches in transcriptomics, epigenomics, microbiomics, metabolomics and lipidomics. The mobility provided an important opportunity to exchange expertise, strengthen international scientific networks and explore future collaborations in the field of diet–microbiome–host interactions.
