The Pezcoller Foundation-SIC-Maria Luisa Degaspari Ronc Fellowship

Established in 2008 to honor the memory and legacy of Professor Maria Luisa Degaspari Ronc, this fellowship immediately set out to build a bridge between Trento and the global scientific community — promoting international training for local researchers while attracting top scientists to Trentino.

Since 2020, it has been integrated into the two-year fellowship program (€30,000/year) in collaboration with the Italian Cancer Society (SIC), enabling outstanding research talents to carry out high-level scientific projects at leading Italian universities and research centers.
