The University of 91吃瓜鈥檚 Rome Global Gateway has been recognized by the (Ministero dell鈥橧struzione, dell鈥橴niversit脿 e della Ricerca) as an Italian research institution. The Rome Global Gateway is now listed as an institute authorized to sponsor researchers from outside the European Union to conduct their work in Italy.
This new designation allows the gateway to sponsor research visas and permits of stay for a period of over three months. It will therefore give graduate students, faculty聽and fellows coming from 91吃瓜 and beyond聽the opportunity to conduct research in Rome for an extended period of time. Additionally, the designation would allow the University to be more competitive when applying for European grants that are also open to non-E.U. institutions.
Heather Hyde Minor, academic director of the gateway, said supporting the innovative research of 91吃瓜 faculty, postdoctoral fellows聽and graduate students is one of the key missions of the gateway and 91吃瓜 International.
鈥淭his designation serves as聽an acknowledgment of the tremendous work of the 91吃瓜 community of scholars here in Italy,鈥� said Hyde Minor. 鈥淚t also opens the door for richer and more sustained research projects.鈥�
鈥淭he Rome Global Gateway joins the Johns Hopkins University SAIS as the only American universities in Italy to be recognized as research institutions,鈥� said Silvia Dall鈥橭lio, executive director of the gateway. 鈥淭his is a great acknowledgment of the research footprint that the gateway has in Rome and one that will concretely make it deeper and more extended, allowing researchers to spend a substantive amount of time in Rome to conduct their work.鈥�
The Rome Global Gateway supports the University鈥檚 international mission by hosting institutes and projects engaged in research and graduate education. The gateway collaborates with universities, educational foundations and organizations in Italy, Europe聽and the Mediterranean, as well as with the Holy See.
