The Conservatory of Milan<\/strong>, founded in 1807, with over 1,700 students, 234 teachers and more than 100 study programmes, is one of the most important institutions for the study of music, with national and international prominence.<\/p>\n The strategic plan for internationalisation aims to place the Milan Conservatory among the reference institutions for Higher Music Education at European and world level, strengthening its network of contacts, exchanges and collaborations with the major institutions of the sector.<\/p>\n For this reason, the Milan Conservatory intends to join the Erasmus+<\/strong> programme, and in particular to take part in the Key Action 1<\/strong> and Key Action 2<\/strong>, with the following objectives:<\/p>\n In the context of Key Action 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n In the context of Key Action 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n The primary goal of the Milan Conservatory, as defined in its mission, is to train instrumentalists and composers by developing each student\u2019s potential, in the belief that art \u2013 and mainly music \u2013 represents the pinnacle of human thought and the main tool for the growth of individuals and society.<\/p>\n The Conservatory is one of the leading institutions for the study of music, renowned nationally and internationally, with over 1,700 students, 234 teachers, 25 adjunct professors and more than 100 programmes (I and II level degrees, master programmes, workshops, master classes and seminars with internationally renowned teachers).<\/p>\n The internationalisation and modernisation strategy aims to strengthen the position of the Institute among the most representative Higher Music Education institutions in Europe and worldwide. The four pillars of this strategy are based on:<\/p>\n The internationalisation process focuses on:<\/p>\n The Milan Conservatory recognises the synergy between these goals and those of the Erasmus programme, which has always been a key instrument in its internationalisation strategy. Through Erasmus, students and teachers access global networks of artistic and educational exchange.<\/p>\n The Erasmus programme contributes to:<\/p>\n In the next few years, the Conservatory plans to continue participating in Key Action 1<\/strong> and Key Action 2<\/strong>, further developing its expertise in strategic partnerships and related initiatives.<\/p>\n Mobility of students and teachers has always been a strength of the Milan Conservatory, supported by an extensive network of contacts and consistent quality monitoring. Future efforts will focus on improving the impact and inclusivity of mobility actions, expanding opportunities to all departments and including administrative staff through targeted training.<\/p>\n The Conservatory also emphasises student traineeships, monitoring professional development outcomes and ensuring high-quality standards. Expansion of partnerships with non-European countries such as China, Korea, the USA and Japan is part of the seven-year plan, with Erasmus playing a strategic role in facilitating these collaborations.<\/p>\n Under Erasmus, the Conservatory has gained significant experience through the INTERMUSIC project, dedicated to distance learning, research and network music performance. This initiative has been crucial in developing digital learning and transnational teaching. Future plans include continued investment in virtual learning and sustainable partnerships of excellence.<\/p>\n Based on past experience, the Conservatory is confident that Erasmus will continue to have a strong impact on internationalisation and modernisation, enhancing multiple aspects of institutional life:<\/p>\n The Conservatory boasts the highest number of interinstitutional agreements among Italian Higher Music Education Institutes. Erasmus mobility now represents over 90% of its exchanges. The goal is a 25% increase<\/strong> in mobility within the first two years of the new programme. Both quantitative and qualitative indicators (satisfaction, employability, integration) will be monitored.<\/p>\n International mobility enriches teaching quality through exposure to diverse educational systems. Plans include launching English-taught courses and expanding online learning using expertise from Key Action 2 projects.<\/p>\n The Conservatory promotes learning of multiple EU languages. Through Erasmus, it aims to support a third language, assisted by the Online Linguistic Support (OLS) platform to ensure timely completion of preparatory language training.<\/p>\n Participation in strategic partnerships has improved the management of complex processes, requiring detailed planning across administrative, financial and decision-making areas. Collaboration with institutions such as the Royal Danish Music Academy and the Lithuanian National Academy of Music remains a key element in ongoing development.<\/p>\n The Conservatory continues to improve support for Erasmus students, focusing on accommodation assistance and better access to information (course catalogues, schedules, curricula). Satisfaction levels will be the primary indicator of success.<\/p>\n The Milan Conservatory ensures transparency and fairness in credit recognition. The adoption of automatic recognition mechanisms under the new programme will further streamline this process. Monitoring will focus on satisfaction levels and the speed of administrative credit registration.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Erasmus Policy Statement The Conservatory of Milan, founded in 1807, with over 1,700 students, 234 teachers and more than 100 study programs, is one of the most important institutions for […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":991,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1112","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
