A memorandum of understanding has been signed by the University of Luxembourg and the Italian Embassy in Luxembourg to support the teaching of the Italian language at the University and in the continuing education programme “Italian Language, Culture and Society”.

The agreement allows for the allocation, by the Italian Embassy and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of a teacher in the Italian language and culture at the University of Luxembourg.

The agreement was signed on 16 March 2022, in the presence of the Italian Ambassador to Luxembourg, H.E. Diego Brasioli, the course director, Professor Claudio Cicotti, the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences (FHSE), Professor Georg Mein, and the Rector of the University of Luxembourg, Professor Stéphane Pallage.

H.E. the Italian Ambassador to Luxembourg, Diego Brasioli, welcomed an “important agreement in favour of teaching the Italian language and culture in the academic field, to allow more and more people to study the language of Dante not only in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a cosmopolitan country with deep ties to Italy, but also in the Greater Region.”

“Luxembourg and Italy have a great history in common,” said the University’s rector, Professor Stéphane Pallage. “The Italian government and the Italian Embassy have contributed a lot over the years to the teaching of Italian culture at the University of Luxembourg. This new agreement strengthens the very good collaboration between the University and the Embassy.”
