On 21 April 2026, the Italian Cultural Institute had the pleasure of hosting the event “Strategic Partnership: MBA Exchange between DCU and Politecnico di Milano”, dedicated to academic collaboration between two outstanding higher education institutions.
The initiative represented an important opportunity for international exchange, aimed at promoting the sharing of skills, experiences, and perspectives among students, academics, and professionals, further strengthening the ties between Italy and Ireland in the fields of higher education and innovation.
A key moment of the event was the addresses to students delivered by H.E. Ambassador Nicola Faganello and Professor Eric Clinton of Dublin City University (DCU), who shared reflections on the value of international academic cooperation, leadership, and education within an ever-evolving global context.
The Italian Cultural Institute is pleased to support initiatives that foster dialogue between institutions, student mobility, and the growth of new generations of professionals capable of operating in international environments.
We extend our best wishes to all participants for their academic and professional journeys, with the hope that they will fully seize the opportunities for learning, collaboration, and development offered by this meaningful experience.
