One of our Erasmus students, Gianni Cristian Iannelli, received the ‘9 millionth Erasmus+ participant award’ during the ceremony for the 30th birthday of the EU Erasmus programme, in the presence of Antonio Tajani (President of the European Parliament) and Jean-Claude Juncker (President of the European Commission). One “excellent testimony” was selected per each of the 33 countries participating to the Erasmus Programme, and Gianni was selected for Italy among countless, valuable candidates.
