Their stories will be told on Thursday at Ancona’s Mole Vanvitelliana at the “From Italy to America and back” event. Members of the programme will be speaking at Thursday’s event, including scholarship holders and tutors. They will talk about the possibility of bridging the two countries and inspiring new collaborations that are beneficial to Italian and American research centres. This is an opportunity for a constructive dialogue for institutions and entrepreneurs, that will shed light on new proposals to enhance the potential of research between Marche and the USA.
