Turistica is engaged in international mobility of students and teachers and has implemented
co-operation in research and study with universities and colleges inside and outside the EU, in
particular in the Mediterranean area and the USA. Diverse international and professional events
are organised - like FuTuristica, the bi-annually organized international meeting of researchers
and teachers in tourism, or TIM – Tourism, Education and Management and Encuentros, which
discuss current subjects in the field of tourism with numerous home and foreign experts.
