“In a time of international conditions marked by dramatic conflicts and tensions that we could happily do without, collaboration on economic, industrial and cultural levels, particularly in the education of young people and the nurturing of their talents, is the path that humanity should constantly pursue.”

President Sergio Mattarella made this statement while inaugurating several new faculties at the Ada University (Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy) in Baku during his second official visit to Azerbaijan. These faculties were established in collaboration with five Italian universities: Sapienza, Bologna, Politecnico di Torino, Politecnico di Milano and Luiss. Deputy Rector Fabio Sciarrino was present at the ceremony.
