The University of Notre Dame's , in partnership with the Georgetown University聽Representative Office in Rome, has launched聽,聽a central calendaring platform for academic events organized by participating Catholic institutions. This marks the first step in a wide-ranging cultural project aiming to promote collaboration between Catholic institutions in Rome through the organization of common initiatives, which聽in turn contribute to the cultural dynamism of the city.
The platform aims to make academic events accessible to a wider audience and to further the research of students and scholars residing in or passing through the Eternal City. By gathering scheduled events in a large common calendar, the platform facilitates access to the city鈥檚 extraordinary resources such as academic institutions聽(universities, libraries, archives), seminars and conferences, and their international reach.聽
Other collaborating聽institutions include聽Pontificia Universit脿 Gregoriana, the Pontificio Istituto di Studi Arabi e d鈥橧slamistica, the Pontificio Ateneo S. Anselmo, the Libera Universit脿 Maria Ss. Assunta, the Pontificia Universit脿 S. Tommaso d鈥橝quino and Pontificia Universit脿 Urbaniana. The project is coordinated by the Georgetown University Representative Office in Rome and the University of Notre Dame Rome Global Gateway, which will host the platform on its website.
With the creation of聽the new platform,聽the participating institutions provide an answer to a shared need of unity and collaboration for the sake of a unique objective, by working together for a better and more successful cultural and academic proposal.聽
