The main goal and details of this cooperation have been fixed, which will transform these initiatives into an international event.
In the afternoon the guests visited the University “Foro Italico”, receiving the welcome of the rector prof. Fabio Pigozzi and of the reponsibile for International Relationships prof. Emanuele Isidori (in the photo).
“Education is the key to success. Therefore, the marshals have been getting a well founded education for a long time,” stated DMSB Secretary General Julia Walter. “And now we are going to step by step extend this education to all the motor-racing management staff. We’ve had a good start in Germany with a course focused on cars. Now we want to increasingly include the motorcycle area too. We had valuable meetings, today, to find future possibilities of cooperation. Hopefully we’ll find a way to internationalise our course in motorsport management. I’ve particularly appreciated the University of Rome ‘Foro Italico’: it’s a place of great history!”

“Today we’ve planned the possibility of cooperation with FIM Europe for a Course in Motorsport Management, which might also include an exchange for lecturers and students”, stated Bettina Reuter, Dean of the MBA Course of Studies Motorsports-Management, Nürburgring, University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern. “There is a common basis with our Course, even if we’re focused on the automotive sector. One of the most attractive things is the possibility of networking, to build up an international community for all our students. A possible vision in the future is a double degree in cooperation with Rome. Visiting the University “Foro Italico”, today I was stunned for how the Olympic Committee, history and sports communities are tied together”.
“I am particularly happy to start the phase two of the pilot project we started last year with the University of Rome ‘Foro Italico’. This phase will assign an International dimension to the Advanced Course in Motorcycling Management”, stated Alessandro Sambuco, FIM Europe Secretary General. “Together with FMI, which has already offered its contribution since the previous edition, we will be able to rely also on the support of DMSB and we are working to organise common sessions of lessons both at the University ‘Foro Italico’ in Rome and at the University of Nürburgring. Other important developments may include the creation of a common web platform with the list, curricula and profiles of Diplomats at these Courses. This can represent for all Stakeholders of Motorcycling a precious supply basin for professionals who will have to work in today’s and tomorrow’s Motorcycling”.
