Thinking about an academic career in Italy?
The good, the bad and the ugly.
Friday, 26th November - 2pm

This event is an informational session led by Professor Matteo Legrenzi. After a vibrant international career in the US, Korea, Canada and the UK, Matteo is now full professor at the University Ca' Foscari in Venice. Matteo will explain the current routes available to enter the academic Italian system at various stages of career and practical hands-on tips to navigate the Italian academic architecture and customs.
The core idea of the event is to make it as informative as possible and address practical questions about the Italian academic system that you might have in your mind. We will keep the form open to collect your questions to Matteo in advance of the event until 24th November. You can write your name or leave the form anonymous. The event will be in English and will not be recorded.
