(29 January, 2016) “The collaboration between universities is one of the fundamental building blocks upon which the mutual understanding between two nations is born. It enables young people to better understand a new reality, develop a body of knowledge, relationships and experiences that will last for the years to come,” the Consul General of Italy in Melbourne, Marco Maria Cerbo, thus commented the “co-tutelle” agreement between the Politecnico di Torino and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology for the training of young students. The agreement was handed over to Cerbo, who received the Dean of the RMIT Research School, Denise Cuthbert, along with a delegation of ten Italian students who are participating in several inter-university exchange programs, and three professors.
