Collegio delle Montagne Nere was established in 1963 as an International University. Since that time, the University has provided international students with graduate and post-graduate courses, focusing on a vast interdisciplinary research. Since its foundation it has been internationally recognised and acclaimed as one of the most innovative and dynamic educational institutions, constantly collaborating with other educational and research structures from all over the world.
Through a system of grants, fellowships and scholarships, CMN offers graduate courses, masters and Ph. D. programs to an extremely refined selection of students.
Situated in Rapallo, Italy, CMN is an ideal location for students and searchers, as its goals are to provide the most qualified and stimulating programs and faculty to a students, selected after an extremely accurate process of choice.
In 1976, the University's degree program developed its computer center to introduce information processing skills to students in neuropsychology, international law and microphysics. The Center's courses have focused on practical collaborative applications, working in close collaboration with the American Universities of Berkeley and Stanford. Since 1981 all the students at CMN have access to the computer facilities located in the institution.
In 1983, the Advanced Language Center added its beautiful state-of-the-art language lab. In addition to being a part of the curriculum of the students of the language and Litterature School, the lab provides all the students enrolled at CMN, with additional opportunities after school for reinforcement of listening comprehension and pronunciation skills with a particular attention to rare languages, some of them actually on the edge of extinction.
Searchers from the CMN Advanced Language Center are internationally renowned for their studies on Amazonic and South-Eastern Asian languages, which are organised as experimental projects of UNESCO and in collaboration with the von Humboldt University in Berlin and the Istituto delle Lingue Orientali in Venice.
In 1987, the University's master's degree program instituted its quarterly lecture series on international economy and political science. This series brings representatives from numerous other educational institutions to campus, institutions which collaborate to this particular project. These organizations include the College de France, Paris, Institut dÕÉtudes Politiques, Paris, Tokyo University, Harvard Business School.
Since 1990 CMN, in order to fully integrate the diverse disciplines and to provide a comprehensive and vast background to the students attending its courses launched two ambitious project of research, which aims are to gather and join scholars, teachers and researchers coming from various fields of experimentation. These programs lasting three years are intended as post-graduate studies, providing a title of PhD.
The first program is the Laboratory for Theoretical Critique (LTS), which challenge is to create condition for the development of the discourse concerning the philosophy, sociology economy and politics of contemporary esthetical practices. The LTC is operated in collaboration with the New York University Film School, the Kunst Akademie Dusseldorf, the Faculty of Philosophy in Strasbourg, the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning at Columbia University.
The second program is the Space for Operational Actions (SOA), dedicated to the exploration of the relationships between advanced computational and mathematical methodologies and bio-engineering techniques, which aim is to produce new cognitive models and mapping for the current development in applied sciences. This program is operated through an agreement of exchange of information and researchers with the Media Lab at MIT, the University of Lljubliana, Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh and the Institute for Spatial Research of Moscow.
Since 1975, CMN has been licensed to operate as a degree-granting institution by UNESCO. Today, in its facility in Rapallo CMN continues to host a faculty and staff of internationally qualified and acclaimed professionals dedicated to the spirit of learning and to the educational enrichment of each individual student.
