Italy-Mongolia, IX edition of the Italian Research Day in the world in Ulaanbaatar

The initiative is part of Italy’s growing commitment to scientific diplomacy and the promotion of talent, strengthening dialogue with Mongolia in this important area. Space, in particular, represents a promising sector of academic and scientific cooperation between the two countries. Mongolian J. Gurragchaa was the second astronaut in Asia to participate in a space mission, and research programs are conducted from Mongolia in various fields related to the study of space. The Vice Rector of the National University of Mongolia, prof. Baatarchuluun, opened the lecture, together with Ambassador Giovanna Piccarreta, recalling the important contribution made by Italy to science, starting from Galileo Galilei up to the present day and to excellences such as Giorgio Parisi and Rita Levi Montalcini, in honor of whom the Italian research day takes place on 22 April, the date of birth of the Nobel Prize-winning scientist.

The Italian Ambassador recalled the opportunity offered to Mongolian students by the “Invest your Talent in Italy” program, which from 2026 will also be extended to Mongolia, reconfirming Italy’s commitment to promoting the country’s young talents. The deadline to apply is set for May 11th, 6pm Italian time: more information is available at the following link https://investyourtalentapplication.esteri.it/SitoIYT/EN/invest-your-talent-in-italy
