The fourth edition of the "UNIRSM Advanced Training Course in Internationalization Processes" was presented this morning at Palazzo Begni.
The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Nicola Renzi, and the Rector of the University, Corrado Petrocelli, expressed their personal satisfaction with the fruitful partnership between the University of the Republic of San Marino, the Secretariat of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Agency for Economic Development – San Marino Chamber of Commerce.
The course aims to provide a more focused and in-depth understanding of the internationalization process, a cornerstone of corporate strategy along with the other crucial aspect of innovation. The approach to internationalization strategies involves the transmission of conceptual tools and the analysis of practical cases, useful for acquiring skills and knowledge that can be applied to business success abroad.
Professor Massimo Ferdinandi will be the Scientific Director of the Advanced Training Course. This new edition will again feature 130 hours of lectures taught by qualified university professors, diplomats, and multinational company executives.
One of the main new teaching innovations of the 2018/2019 edition of the Course is the teaching "The Internationalization of Businesses and Tourist Destinations," demonstrating the growing attention to one of the drivers of economic development in the Republic of San Marino.
At the end of the course, a written exam will be held to select the most deserving students for internships abroad at internationally operating companies, identified through diplomatic and consular representatives of the Republic. Three interns from last year's program are currently completing their training abroad at companies in Manila, Philippines, and Hanoi, Vietnam. This opportunity represents a highly qualifying element of an educational project aimed at the younger generations, which is part of the country's internationalization efforts, to which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pays particular attention. This initiative is intended both to support San Marino economic operators in their international expansion and to encourage the establishment of foreign investors in San Marino, who will need the support of professionally qualified personnel equipped to face new challenges.
Furthermore, to put into practice what has been learned in the classroom, the program includes group work on a project work: an internationalization plan to be developed at selected San Marino companies. The diploma will be awarded exclusively upon completion of a minimum number of hours of attendance and the submission of the project work.
The counseling service for students is also confirmed, in addition to the traditional outreach function, via the Course's Facebook page: a virtual platform capable of connecting students with a group of qualified professionals in the internationalization processes.
The Advanced Training Course requires a high school diploma, whether from San Marino or elsewhere, as a minimum requirement.
The registration fee is 820 Euros.
