Agreement between FAO and IULM

FAO is proud to announce a new global flagship partnership with IULM (International University of Languages and Media, Milan).

On Monday 20 April, Mario Lubetkin, Director of Corporate Communication at FAO signed a strategic agreement with IULM University Chancellor Professor Giovanni Puglisi. The alliance seals a marriage of top-level skills: FAO's widely recognized know-how in the field of nutrition and the educational excellence of IULM. In particular, in this the year of the Universal Exposition of Milan, FAO and the University will be offering thirty students the opportunity to follow a course titled “Communicating to Inspire Change: harnessing the bounties of the Earth for Peace, Food security, Nutrition and Global Development”. The two-week training course will be held in September 2015 at IULM University.

The partnership marks a groundbreaking step in Europe: “IULM is the first European university to forge such a significant alliance,” said Mario Lubetkin, during the signing of the agreement. “It is an extremely important partnership, which will enable us to achieve increasingly ambitious objectives,” commented Professor Puglisi.
