Today the academic community and the local sports community met as Rector Roberto Di Lenarda welcomed the President of Triestina Calcio Ben Rosenzweig to the Sala Cammarata for his first visit to the University of Trieste.

The American businessman, who has owned Trieste’s football club for just over a year, and the UniTS Rector exchanged mutual good wishes for both the 100th anniversary of the University of Trieste on 8th August and for the forthcoming start of the football season, which kicks off on Saturday 24th August.

The meeting spoke to the ongoing consolidation of the partnership between the University and the football club, both of which are ready to outline future opportunities for collaboration, in the interest of the territory and the academic community.

The event was marked by an exchange of T-shirts, in keeping with sporting tradition. Rosenzweig presented the Rector with a Triestina T-shirt, customized with UniTS and the number 100, to celebrate the University's important anniversary. Rector Di Lenarda, in turn, reciprocated by presenting the Triestina president with a t-shirt celebrating the UniTS centenary.
