Four out of the 45 winners of the “Roberto Rocca Education Program grants” are students of the University of Trento. 

Each grant amounts to 2,800 EUR, to be awarded to students of Engineering and Applied Sciences of various Italian universities. The initiative was sponsored by the company Dalmine SpA.

For the University of Trento the four winners study at the Department of Industrial engineering:

  • Gionata Raos - Freshman of the master’s course in Mechatronics engineering;
  • Amine Amimi - Freshman of the master’s course in Materials engineering;
  • Matteo Ragni - enrolled to the second year of the master’s course of Mechatronics engineering;
  • Fabrizio Ketmaier - enrolled to the second year of the master’s course of Mechatronics engineering.

Gian Domenico Sorarù, Professor at the Department of Industrial engineering of the University of Trento, underlined: “Tenaris Dalmine pre-selects the universities which participate in the contest. I am therefore proud that Tenaris chose UniTrento together with few other Italian universities and, even more, that they selected the Department of Industrial engineering”.

The selection aims at detecting brilliant and talented students and is organised in three steps. After the evaluation of the candidates’ eligibility, the participants had to pass two online tests and an individual interview. The other winners come from the universities of Bergamo, Brescia, Padua and Naples, and from the Polytechnic universities of Milan and Turin.

The Awarding Ceremony was held a few days ago in the headquarters of TenarisDalmine, in the province of Bergamo.

The initiative is dedicated to Roberto Rocca, President of the Gruppo Technint: a man of great culture, attentive to arts, and role-model for young people, so that they understand that cultivating their interests helps them in opening their minds and enriches their personal and professional skills. The grants result from the cooperation between TenarisDalmine - an Italian company producing stainless steel welding-free tubes for the energy, car and mechanics industries - and the universities which aim at concretely supporting the careers of engineers during their training and study, being sure that they are an important source of innovation.

The Roberto Rocca Education Program was created in 2005 to prize the best students in the field of
Engineering and Applied Sciences in the countries were the Gruppo is most significantly active: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Japan, Italy, Mexico, Romania, Uruguay and Venezuela.
