Recognizing the importance of international students as a fundamental instrument for the internationalization of the Country, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation - Directorate General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy, the Ministry of University and Research, ITA – Italian Trade Agency, and Uni-Italia, within the framework of the “ Invest Your Talent in Italy” Program, will award a number of scholarships, for the academic year 2024-2025, in favor of international students interested in attending higher education courses in Italy.
Scholarships are awarded for courses of Master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale or Master universitario) at Italian Higher Education Institutes (state-owned institutions or institutions legally recognized by the relevant State authorities) that are part of the “Invest Your Talent in Italy” Program. The program also includes a mandatory internship at Italian companies. The grants that will be awarded derive from an express will of the Italian government manifested through this call and, when applicable, from international understandings/agreements.

The Program, which aims to promote the internationalization of the Italian academic system as a center of excellence and to stimulate synergies between universities and businesses, allows young foreign talents to get their specialization in Italy and to start a working experience at Italian companies. The IYT Program is now dedicated to the memory of Giulia Cecchettin. More information are available on the home page of the web site INVEST YOUR TALENT IN ITALY - Student Application (esteri.it). All the IYT grantees from the academic year 2023-2024 on, will attend a seminar or a course on the enhancing of gender equality and on fighting violence and abuse against women, as part of their academic path at the University of their choice.
