La rete internazionale GALA (Global Academy of Liberal Arts) ha come scopo principale quello di ampliare e arricchire le esperienze di studenti e studiosi al di là dei confini nazionali e culturali. La rete è in continua espansione e, ad oggi, conta 17 istituzioni partner in 13 paesi.

Fondata nel 2014 presso la Bath Spa University (Regno Unito), GALA fa incontrare studenti, docenti e ricercatori di istituzioni universitarie di tutto il mondo con il fine di esplorare le relazioni tra creatività e impegno sociale mediante collaborazioni didattiche e di ricerca che convergono in un convegno annuale ospitato presso una delle sedi del Network.

GALA è una comunità internazionale di istituzioni universitarie unite dalla stessa vocazione all’innovazione scientifico-culturale e alla responsabilità sociale: una comunità impegnata a stimolare una sempre maggiore comprensione fra mondi e culture diverse tramite nuove forme di collaborazione interdisciplinare nell’insegnamento e nella ricerca.
