- interaction with International colleagues, students, patients and athletes;
- use of technological tools (computers, softwares, App, cameras, etc) which are widely spread in health/education services for the manipulation of data and images;
- teaching, also at higher level, education activities in general or meetings all over the world;
- updating by means of scientific/technical international literature.

The Course pursues the general objectives set by the University of Brescia, now a "thematic University": the "Health and Wealth" project requires, in every student, full awareness - also in an international perspective - of the ideas of Longevity, Environment, Life-styles, Technologies for Health and Wealth.
