UNINDUSTRIA, MARPOSS AND JOHNS HOPKINS JOINTLY PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION IN THE NAME OF MARIO POSSATI

For already 20 years Unindustria and Marposs have been jointly promoting international education in the name of Mario Possati, thus contributing to integration and enhancement of young talents who now hold positions of responsibility in key roles of international relations, world economy and world finance.

The "Mario Possati" Memorial Fellowship, which Unindustria Bologna and Marposs S.p.A. together endow with an East European qualified student of the Bologna Center of the Johns Hopkins University, has been assigned this year to Dorina Georgieva, 23 years old, from Bulgaria.

Her professional goal is to work for the United Nations in the field of international development and immigration policies.
