It brings together the Tuscany Region and seven prestigious Tuscan universities: the University of Florence, the University of Pisa, the University of Siena, the University for Foreigners of Siena, IMT School for Advanced Studies of Lucca, Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa. TOUR4EU advances the interests of the Tuscan Higher Education system in EU research, promoting internationalisation and facilitating European project planning.
