New Quarter Comes to an End

A new quarter has successfully concluded with the internship program involving Villanova University, which featured three students from the American university, once again confirming the strength and value of the collaboration between the Directorate of Telecommunications and Information Systems and the U.S. institution for higher learning.

The Directorate of Telecommunications and Information Systems of the Governorate of the Vatican City State continues its collaboration with Villanova University by hosting, in 2025, students from Philadelphia for the second semester of the academic year. This program, created with the goal of connecting academic research with the practical needs of the Governorate, has once again proven to be a valuable opportunity for both institutions.

In questi ultimi giorni del mese di febbraio, si è tenuto un incontro di approfondimento tra i professori dell’Università di Villanova, Daniel Joyce e Frank Klassner, e la Direzione delle Telecomunicazioni e dei Sistemi Informatici del Governatorato. L’appuntamento si inserisce nel percorso di collaborazione avviato negli ultimi anni, un momento di continuità rispetto alla visita precedentemente effettuata dalla delegazione della Direzione, con Davide Giordano e Monica Giuliano, presso l’Ateneo statunitense a gennaio 2026.
