The Italian Studies section has long combined excellence in research and teaching with a strong commitment to public engagement. It fosters an ongoing dialogue with civil society and collaborates closely with Italian institutions, and the many associations in the Grand Duchy that maintain close ties with Italy. Beyond Luxembourg, the section has established an extensive network of partnerships with universities and research centres around the world. These collaborations promote scientific exchange, academic mobility, and the development of joint research projects, enriching both teaching and research.
