Sept. 3 – A five-year agreement now allows students to participate in the mobility programs for their training abroad. The Department of Medicine at the University of Rome Tor Vergata recently sealed its new cooperation program with George Washington University. The Scientific Advisor at the Italian Embassy in Washington, Ranieri Guerra, also participated in the final stages of the negotiation. Each year, medical students of the two universities with an excellent academic curriculum will be able to do an internship, during the summer, within the other’s facilities. This is an important agreement “for the scientific and academic prestige of George Washington University, and because it is one of the rare examples of collaboration between an American university and an Italian state university,” said Giuseppe Novelli, president of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. “The agreement fits our internationalization policies, which aim for more ambitious goals, such as increasing the number of students abroad for study and training.”
