(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 08 APR - "Sissa has a long history of
collaborating with the Balkans, dating back to its founding. Not
only do we teach students coming from the region, but we also
entertain European joint research projects with many Balkan
universities". Andrea Romanino, director of Sissa, International
School of Advanced Studies in Trieste, is working to strengthen
the bonds with the region to the East of the Italian border.
These relations had already been revived three years ago by ESOF
2020, an event that saw Trieste as the European Capital of
Science, and that aimed to gather an audience especially in the
Balkans.
"Sissa has a unique geographical position, as it stands at
the gateway for the East and for the West and as it stands in an
area which is rich in scientists and research institutions".
Romanino calls "important" the relationship that Sissa has with
the Balkans because "from that area we recruit very talented
students, with a great drive and core scientific knowledge".
Once they get to the Sissa "these students are endowed with a
vast array of knowledge and skills which are going to allow them
to find a career path in research, in business or in civil
service. Whether they choose to return in their country of
origin, to stay in Italy or to move to some other country, they
are going to boost innovation and therefore be beneficial to the
economy". Indeed, what they learn in their PhD are the "advanced
knowledge and problem solving skills that allow them to face
problems which had never been solved before". (ANSA).
