UNICORE

The University Corridors for Refugees UNICORE 8.0  project is promoted by UNHCR with Caritas Ambrosiana, Diaconia Valdese, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and several Italian Universities, as well as additional partners. Bocconi has joined the project back in 2021 and has already taken part in the 3.0, 4.0., 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 editions.
