CooperationCooperation OpportunitiesOpportunities
We are interested in cooperating with your University in common fields of education and research .
All of us are convinced that a strategy of cultural, technical, and scientific cooperation among countries based on the mutual recognition of heritages and values could be the best way to achive peaceful coexistence.
In Sicily and in Palermo in the past centuries there was a long period of peaceful and fruitful coesistence between the Latin world and the Arab world.
We hope that this meeting could revive that spirit. TheThe UniversityUniversity ofof PalermoPalermo
