This April 9th, Ricardo Salas Moreno, MA, director of our School of Design, was hosted at the Palazzo Niccolini, the official venue of the Accademia Europea di Firenze (AEF) in Italy, in order to formalize the academic collaboration agreement between both institutions. 

During his visit, he presented our School to the members of said academy. He also presented the exhibition: “Como un libro abierto” [As an open book], an exhibition that already was in Puebla in the framework of Design Mexico 2019 and his recent appointment as one of the 100 design ambassadors worldwide. 

Said meeting was attended by the entire AEF executive board, including its President, Aloisio Sotero, the Academic Director, Antonio Vanni, the Marketing Director, Elisabetta Santanni, the Administrative Director, Massimo de Matteis, MS, and LATAM Development, Marcela Lopez Enriquez, MA, in addition to academic and administrative staff. 

It must be said that this agreement encourages educational cooperation between both institutions, promoting academic mobility and strengthening academic cooperation between Mexico and Italy.
