The University for Foreigners of Perugia continues to invest in internationalisation and in building new academic and institutional networks.
In recent days, Vice-Rector Francesco Asdrubali and Dr Valentina Seri of the International Relations Office met the leadership of the Italy-Vietnam Foundation, represented by its President Maily Anna Maria Nguyen, delegate of the Vietnamese Embassy for Umbria and Emilia-Romagna, and by Dr Simone Tomassini, member of the Foundation’s Development Cooperation Committee for Umbria.
The meeting laid the groundwork for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing the presence of Vietnamese students at the University and developing new academic and regional partnerships.
