The support of Intesa Sanpaolo is one of the chapters of a broad collaboration agreement between the Group and the prestigious Oxford University and which includes training activities, scientific research, exchanges and scholarships, which confirms the Bank's interest in spreading Italian culture and art abroad.
"The collaboration, which has been going on for several years, with Oxford University, an institution recognized as one of the best in the world in the field of research and training, represents one of the most qualifying partnerships for Intesa Sanpaolo.
It is further evidence of how art and culture are an integral part of our operations as a Bank, an aspect that is not overlooked even in a collaboration of such importance, one of the broadest established so far by Intesa Sanpaolo with foreign universities", commented Stephen Lucchini, Chief Institutional Affairs and External Communication Officer Intesa Sanpaolo.
