Thanks to the establishment of the first Engineering Study Programme in Rome by Pope Pius VII in 1817, the first school for professional training in engineering was born in Italy. The mission of the Programme was to train specialized technicians to work for the Water and Roads Bureau. In 1826 Pope Leo XII decided that “technical studies” should also be part of the Archiginnasio of Sapienza University. In 1870 the general norms of the Casati Law of 1859 were extended to the city of Rome, and in 1873 the "Scuola di applicazione per gli ingegneri in Roma" (practical school for engineers in Rome) was created through a specific Regulation that separated the school from the University of Rome (as one can read on the plaque which is walled in the atrium of the Faculty).
Conference Venue
IEEE M&N 2023 will be held at the ancient building of the Engineering Faculty of University of Rome "Sapienza." This university, founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, is one of the oldest universities in the world and the second largest University in Europe.
The Engineering Faculty is located in the center of Rome, few steps from the Colosseum and the Imperial Fora. The site is at 15 minutes walking from Roma Termini rail Station and few minutes walking from the metro stations of “Cavour” and “Colosseo” (Blue line B).
The Engineering Faculty is located at via Eudossiana 18 and the main entrance is shown in the picture above, left.
The conference will be hosted in the zone of the Faculty cloister ("Chiostro"), where lunches and coffee breaks will be served.
The conference room is the "Sala del Chiostro" and its main entrance is in the cloister. The conference room is easily reachable from the Main Entrance of the Faculty, as shown in the map below.
