Alumni Farnesina is the network created in 2023 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with Uni-Italia, to bring together all international students who have benefited from a scholarship offered by the Italian Government during their academic career.
It is a multilateral and multidisciplinary space that promotes dialogue and encourages exchange between old classmates and new friends.
The goal is to contribute to the enrichment of cultural, social, and economic relations between Italy and the communities to which the Alumni belong, to keep alive the bond between Italy and the international talents it has chosen to invest in.
Through the platform, Alumni will have the opportunity to network with other former MAECI scholarship recipients, both nationals and from other countries, and stay updated on activities and events organized by the network of Embassies, Consulates, and Italian Cultural Institutes worldwide.
It is possible to join the platform once the period of study as MAECI scholars is completed by clicking HERE.
The Alumni Farnesina app is also available for iOS and Android systems.
