Growing new collaborations.

Seed funds and support for post-docs and doctoral student fellowships give you the resources to launch new collaborations with faculty counterparts at the Milan Politecnico, one of Italy's top engineering schools.

Host a student. Send a student.

Through the Consorzio Italia-MIT, we promote exchanges and collaborations between MIT and some of the best Italian universities, research centers, and doctoral programs. In particular, the Consorzio helps bring outstanding doctoral students from Italian member institutions to MIT as visiting students for six- to eighteen-month periods and sends MIT students to do research at affiliated Italian universities and research centers.

Each visit is arranged on a case-by-case basis and in close cooperation with the MIT host faculty and lab.

For some MIT faculty, hosting a student is a first step towards a new collaboration.

"Having visiting students from other countries has been a great boon to my research program. It has brought diversity and new cultural perspectives and also strong professional ties with the home institutions of the visitors."Professor Forbes Dewey, Mechanical Engineering Department

Also, please let us know if you're interested in sending one of your students on a research internship to one of our Consorzio partners.

Through the Progetto Rocca, the MIT-Italy Program provides fellowships for MIT students to go to Milan Politecnico and for Politecnico Ph.D. students and post-docs to come to MIT.

If you would like to host a visiting student from one of our Consorzio partners, please let us know. We'll explain the process and, if you wish, refer you to previous MIT faculty hosts so that you can get a full understanding of the experience.
