PEGASO is an Italian Online University, chosen by over 90,000 students, is handy, flexible and suitable for all: young, adults, workers and disabled, where you can study wherever and whenever you want and take exams in the same way, using the website.

On the basis of the cooperation PEGASO University and ROADPOL should make joint applications to the EU institutions and organizations for research grants and funds available in the mutually defined fields and topics where collaborative links are established.

The Agreement provides also the possibility for the members of the ROADPOL family to obtain special reductions on the enrollment fees for the PEGASO Online University Courses.
