PRESS ACCREDITATION NOTE
On Monday 5 June 2023, at 10:00 a.m., the Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, and the Acting Chargé d’Affaires at the United States Embassy in Italy, Shawn Crowley, will open the Institutional Session of the Annual Meeting with Fulbright Program Scholars, also dedicated to the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Fulbright Program in Italy.

This will be followed by a group photo and the ceremony for the presentation of the “75th Anniversary of the Fulbright Program in Italy” award to four alumni of the Program, who will be awarded for their projects on relations between Italy and the United States.
The event will be open to the press until 11:15 a.m.
