Post 2015: Cooperating for Inclusion and
Development
The new Sustainable Development Goals, approved by the UN in
September 2015, will frame policies and actions for political, economic
and social development for the next 15 years.
The call to international cooperation is urgent: poverty, inequality, conflict,
instability, and deep uncertainty still affect everyday life of the majority of
world population.
The ASERI Master’s Course in International Cooperation and
Development (MICaD) offers a privileged framework for interdisciplinary
analysis of the global situation, and for exploring tentative solutions to
the world problems, through the coordinated efforts of governmental
and non-governmental actors. Cooperation is indeed a key word in
pursuing development and inclusion: cooperation is about empowering
the vulnerable, the poor and the marginalized in becoming protagonists
of their own development; cooperation is about international aid, but
even more about appropriate national and global policies.
Ultimately, it is about bridging gaps among people, groups and
institutions.
Goals
The Master in International Cooperation and Development trains professionals to be able to contribute
to development cooperation with creativity, personality and competence by interpreting local and international
events, interacting with all the stakeholders, identifying and managing environmentally and local culture-friendly
interventions. For this purpose, the program provides the students with a basic multidisciplinary training and
specialized technical and managerial competences.
