Presentation
Since its creation, Aix Marseille Université has expressed its desire to collaborate with the most prestigious universities on the international scene.
International development and openness is an important aspect of the university's governance.
The International Relations Office is the driving force behind this proactive and dynamic international policy.
By developing targeted, long-term partnerships of excellence, and coordinating amU's active participation in major European and international networks, the DRI strengthens the university's international presence.
Missions
The DRI is responsible for developing cooperation with international establishments and managing student and teacher mobility
under inter-university agreements and exchange programs.
It also ensures amU's contribution to various consortia and networks, and coordinates its participation in major
international calls for projects.
Finally, it contributes to strengthening the university's visibility on the international stage, and ensures the smooth integration of all
international users.
Organization
These major missions are reflected in the organization of the International Relations Office, which is divided into
2 levels: the central DRI and the campus DRIs.
