The CEUR Foundation promotes and organises free courses and seminars in collaboration with the universities in order to pursue topics that are not offered explicitly and systematically by institutional university courses.
These initiatives allow the student to obtain university credits (CFU) useful for the completion of his/her course of study. The recognition of CFUs has been the subject of a memorandum of understanding between the Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities and the Permanent Conference of University Residences legally recognised by MIUR.
