Pubblicato il 11/11/2013Read time: 1 min

An event entitled 'Horizon 2020: An introduction' will be held on 12 November 2013 in Cambridge, UK. 

Horizon 2020, the EU's new funding programme for research and innovation will be launched at the end of 2013. With a budget of over EUR 70bn for the seven year period to 2020, it represents a significant source of support for research and innovation. 

This workshop will provide an overview of the new programme: its scope, budget, rules and procedures, as well as identifying the interest groups to watch. The workshop is specifically aimed at newcomers to EU research and innovation funding whether they are from industry, universities or local government.

University Admissions and Talent in China: What Can Italy Learn?

Pubblicato il 08/08/2025

Every year, millions of Chinese students take the Gaokao, an extremely tough exam that can change the course of a life. But what can this system teach us? Between intense pressure and paths to excellence, it offers a chance to reflect on the idea of merit in Italy as well.

Each year, over 12 million Chinese students sit for the Gaokao (高考), one of the most difficult and decisive university entrance exams in the world. This three-day test includes Chinese, Mathematics, English, and one elective subject from either the sciences or humanities. The maximum score varies by province, typically between 750 and 900, with the admission threshold for top universities exceeding 680–700 points. On average, fewer than 2% of students manage to get into elite institutions such as Peking University or Tsinghua University.
