International partnerships

There has been the development of research in partnership with leading institutions abroad: Leiden University, Universidade de Paris 7, George Washington University, Harvard University, Pennsylvania University , Aachen University, Duke University, Karolinska Institut, Leiden Universiteit, York University, Oxford University, University of Newcastle, Universidade de Basel. These partnerships have also resulted in the international circulation of students and researchers.
