Additionally, they will have the chance to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Ravenna, a UNESCO heritage site.

The awarded sum is up to $3,000. Candidates must submit a letter of application (no more than 1500 words) to prof. Eva Del Soldato by January 31, 2025. Your letter should include your reasons for applying, relevant course background, and any additional experience.
