'DIPLOMAzia': a Multi-Disciplinary Education Programme - a result of a Convention signed between the National Research Council and the General Director for the Italian Cooperation for Development (DGCS) of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE). Subjects: Bio-acoustic; Molecular biology; Biological and chemical oceanography.
NB: In recent years, groups of newly graduated students from France, Argentina, Germany, Libya (on-going), Mexico, Russia, Spain (on-going) and Vietnam have researched at the Institute between 2010 and 2014, under the aegis of international mobility programs or on the basis of ad hoc initiatives.
