Mobility 2022/2023 Fall Semester/Full academic year
In the fall semester, 40 students (20 BAs, 14 MAs, 6 PhDs) from 14 partner Universities in 10 different Countries arrived in Trento for a semester/one year exchange period within ICM 2020 project. Lectures in UniTrento continue to be 100% face-to-face.
There will be two informative meetings for the students about administrative items important for their mobility. The events will take place on Friday 25th of November at the Polo Ferrari 1 - Povo (room A208) and on Monday 28th of November at the Department of Economics (room 2F), both at 12:30 am. Students participation is highly suggested.

About the project
ICM 2023
The call is going to be published very soon and we are ready to contact our partenr to outline the new proposal.
ICM 2022
The project proposal submitted has received a good evaluation and has reached good scores for every Region nevertheless only 3 Countries have been funded for the 2022-2025 period: Neighbourhood East (Region 2), Ukraine; Asia (Region 5), Bangladesh and Russian Federation (Region 4).
ICM 2020
We are pleased to announce that the project is catching on and the grantees have started to carry out mobility, although given the pandemic we still have many grants available. We are confident that the full cooperation of our partners for the next calls will allow us to increase the number of mobility for current year.
It is now time to share results, we encourage all partners to publish news, organise events, create posts on social media in order to give visibility to mobilities and results.

Mobility Period: July 2022
A new experimental psychology laboratory for the Royal University of Phnom Penh - Cambodia
I’m a technician of the experimental studies laboratories at the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences of the University of Trento and I didn’t have many opportunities to travel for my job, so, when Prof. Remo Job proposed me to leave for the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) in Cambodia, I jumped at the opportunity.
The goal was to set up, starting from scratch, an experimental psychology laboratory at the Psychology Department of the RUPP and to make teachers, technicians and students learn about its functioning and development over time. With the financing of the non-profit Marica De Vincenzi Foundation, it was possible to purchase a high-performance computer thanks to which it was possible to carry out four cognitive psychology experiments: Stroop Effect, Lexical Decision, Simon's Spatial Compatibility Task and Gaze Cue.
Upon our arrival we were captured by a new and different environment: the lush and fascinating nature, the very beautiful buildings alternated with dilapidated buildings, the city vibrated with great excitement and activity full of motorbikes, cars and tuk-tuks, all immersed in a hot and humid climate, completely different from that of Trentino.
At the Psychology Department of the RUPP campus we were welcomed by the Director Mr. Phan ChanPeou and by the professors Dr. Kao Savandara and Dr. Sareth Khann. Prof. Savandara took charge of deepening the technical aspects and while I was setting up the istruments for the lab, prof. Job introduced the students to the exchange program between the two universities and also introduced theoretical and empirical studies relating to the experiments made available.
Their passion for study and science overcame the obstacles dictated by a very essential and poorly equipped environment; being able to verify in practice and "touch" what until then had only been studied in books proved to be the key to the enthusiastic participation in the proposed laboratory activities. In a workshop, Prof. Job explored the theoretical aspects of the tasks implemented and I presented the technical and programming aspects. The students then alternated in carrying out two of the four experiments available with the recording of response times and accuracy. Finally, the pupils were asked to develop a study hypothesis on the mental representation of quantities that could give rise to an experiment that could be implemented on the computer.
The participation and commitment shown during the teaching activities were of a great level and quality, with numerous interventions and questions. The work week was intense but very rewarding. The warmth and gratitude that teachers and students showed us at the end of the experience, also through two baskets of Cambodian fruit, were for me the tangible sign that the initiative was useful and appreciated.
