This document is available in Italian and English on the Studenti Stranieri Miur website (studiare-in-italia.it).
  • Important Note: Pre-enrolment at the Italian Embassy alone does not grant admission to degree programs. You must also complete the admission procedures required by the University of Palermo for your chosen program.

Steps for Enrolment

  • Your visa must be granted by November 29, 2024.

    • Your original High School Diploma, translated into Italian or English and legalized.
    • One of the following documents:
      • Declaration of Value (DoV) issued by the competent Italian consular section.

We’re a youth movement working to build responsible technology and create public awareness about the ethical challenges of AI. Through AI research, grassroots organizing, collaboration with companies, and policy outreach, we’re building a movement of AI ethics literacy. We hope to spark nuanced conversations about AI ethics from the classroom to the boardroom, re-envisioning a more equitable and just digital world.

Open Call for Applications!! 📣

We’re excited to announce a global call for applications to join our nonprofit, Innovation for Everyone (IFE). We’re mobilizing young people for responsible tech and AI ethics. Founded in 2020 and officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) this year, we’ve reached over 70,000 students across 35 countries through partnerships with grassroots organizations, schools, and companies. Our work has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, and CNN.

After restructuring our team and relaunching our updated website, we’re extending an open invite to apply to join our team! We’re looking for young people and students in high school and college to join as core team members or volunteers. Help us scale and expand our outreach efforts, bring IFE programming to schools nationwide, and build public awareness about the ethical challenges of AI.

Our Impact

Through workshops, institutional partnerships, and grassroots outreach, we’re building a global movement bringing together young people to collectively fight for a safer future of AI. Founded in 2020, our movement has expanded over the years and we’re grateful for the support to continue scaling.
