The participation of UNIVAQ to the cooperation
Programmes goes back to the early 90’s.
Till 1990 Europe was strictly divided in two.
Contact between East and West was difficult.
The world was very different: the use of
computers was at the beginning, students still
read books in libraries, communication was only
by telephone and by post, fax was a sophisticated
tool
The Erasmus Programme had just been launched
in 1987
Infoday Tempus IV – November 19th , 2012
• After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the EU had to be quick to
