CICOPS Scholarships for Developing Countries: The Center for International Cooperation and Development – CICOPS was established in 1984 to promote cooperation with developing countries and stimulate relations between the University of Pavia and universities in these countries.

CICOPS is committed to human and institutional development in developing countries. This aim is achieved by offering young people the chance to grow and contribute to the development of their countries through these CICOPS Scholarships. After thirty-five years of experience in the fields of cooperation and development, it became clear that joint study and research projects help both developed and developing Countries. With this in mind, CICOPS is working towards creating an ever-growing network of international contacts, including foreign universities, governments and international non-governmental organisations.
