The "Invest Your Talent in Italy – in memory of Giulia Cecchettin" program, promoted by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ministry of University and Research, Italian Trade Agency (ICE) and Uni-Italia, offers international students the opportunity to develop their skills and specialize through a range of Master of Science and postgraduate programs in Engineering, Advanced Technologies, Architecture, Design, Economics, and Management, with the support of a scholarship and other benefits.
The "Invest Your Talent in Italy" program is dedicated to the memory of Giulia Cecchettin, who was a 22-year-old Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Padova. On the night of 11 November 2023, Giulia was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend. She would have obtained her degree on 16 November. Giulia’s death deeply shocked the entire country and from this originated a general reflection on gender-based violence. People spontaneously made Giulia a symbol of the need to react against all femicides, and many initiatives were organized in her memory.
