KIUT and Sapienza University of Rome Explore New Opportunities for Cooperation in Architecture and Design
Kimyo International University in Tashkent (KIUT) welcomed representatives of Sapienza University of Rome, one of Italy's most prestigious higher education institutions.
Founded in 1303, Sapienza is among Europe's oldest and largest universities. Ranked 111th globally and 2nd in Italy in the QS World University Rankings 2027, the university is widely recognized as one of the country's leading centers of education and research.
Sapienza's history is closely associated with distinguished scientists whose discoveries have shaped modern science. Among them are Nobel Prize-winning physicists Enrico Fermi (1938) and Giorgio Parisi (2021), both of whom have strong academic ties to the university. Sapienza has also consistently achieved outstanding results in the QS subject rankings, particularly in Classics & Ancient History.
Italy's rich architectural heritage and renowned design traditions are reflected in Sapienza's academic environment. The university offers a broad range of educational and research opportunities in architecture, design, arts, and communication studies.
The visiting delegation included Mr. Marco Buemi, Adjunct Professor and expert in European Union project evaluation, and Professor Romana Andò, Associate Professor with a PhD in Communication Studies and Director of the Master's Programme in Fashion Theory and Practices.
Discussions focused on strengthening academic cooperation in architecture and design, exchanging international educational expertise, and expanding opportunities for students.
Notably, four KIUT students have already studied at Sapienza University of Rome, demonstrating the practical results of academic cooperation between the two institutions.
Italy holds a distinctive position in global architecture and design, combining centuries of artistic heritage with contemporary creative innovation. Further cooperation with Sapienza will provide KIUT students in architecture and design with greater opportunities to engage with European academic practices, explore contemporary creative approaches, and gain valuable international experience.
