THE MISSION OF SILKWAY

SILKWAY is a network of universities and non-academic partners from different European and Asian countries jointly coordinated by the University of Milano-Bicocca (UNIMIB) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC).

Heir to the spirit that connected East and West along the old trading route, SILKWAY’s aim is to bring into contact people from different cultures and backgrounds to meet the challenges of our complex and rapidly evolving present-day world by fostering the production and dissemination of holistic, transdisciplinary knowledge that such challenges demand.
