December 6th, Luca Ceriscioli, the President of the Marche region in Italy came to MGIMO University at the invitation of the School of Government and International Affairs. The guest gave a lecture to students and faculty members and had a meeting with the leadership of the University.
Introducing Luca Ceriscioli to the audience, the Dean of the School of Government and International Affairs, Henry Sardaryan noted the high symbolism of this visit, as eight years ago the School’s international partnerships began with the University of Macerata, which is located in the Marche region. Since then, hundreds of Italian students from this region have studied in Russia.
During his presentation, the politician spoke about the difficulties faced by civil servants during their career, the challenges related to implementing regional infrastructure projects, the initiative to popularize the Marche region in Russia, and his efforts to promote international cooperation between regions.
