The EMMIO participants come from all over the world but have two things in common: a great passion for international organizations and a desire to advance their career in this field by taking on more senior managerial roles. The program is aimed at mid- and senior-level professionals with at least 5 years of professional experience, who are already working or interested in pursuing a career at the international public sector level.
At SDA Bocconi, we care about our students – not just in their studies but every aspect of life on campus. This care is particularly important for the experience of our numerous international participants. Our International Student Care services guarantee you will have a smooth and worry-free time at SDA Bocconi.
Francesca Roveda will be there to guide you through living and studying in Milan, in all things beyond the classroom: from visas and permits to stay to adjusting to life in Italy, cultural differences, and helpful tips.
Your wellbeing is our highest priority, and International Student Care is an expression of this. We look forward to welcoming you and making your experience as pleasant as possible.

Students and Alumni are the best testimonials of how EMMIO helps leverage participants' attitudes and knowledge. Thanks to their experience and professional positions, they complement the guidance and information given by the Director and the Recruiting Team.
As soon as I attended my first EMMIO lecture, I knew this program would be a transformative step in my personal and professional growth. Having worked within the UN system, other international organizations, and a Multilateral Development Bank, I found in EMMIO everything I needed to keep evolving: world-class professors with both academic expertise and practical experience, a space to deeply explore the key topics that will equip me with the best managerial skills to drive meaningful change, and an incredible cohort of talented colleagues from all over the world, whose diverse perspectives make every discussion richer. EMMIO is not just about learning, it is about shaping the future of international organizations together.
Ambassadors are advisors helping prospects to finalize their decision. We encourage you to connect with our Ambassadors who will be happy to provide useful advice and answer your questions.

Innovating multilateralism: trust, transformation and diplomacy
The 2025 edition of the EMMIO Alumni Reunion explored the shifting dynamics of international cooperation in an increasingly complex global environment.
Participants had the opportunity to engage in timely discussions on nuclear diplomacy, global risks, digital transformation, and innovative approaches to resource mobilization.
Highlights included the keynote address by Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the IAEA, who emphasized the role of diplomacy and trust in navigating nuclear challenges. The agenda also featured expert-led panels and interactive group activities that encouraged reflection on the future of multilateralism.
The event fostered meaningful exchange among alumni and practitioners, reaffirming the EMMIO community’s commitment to shaping responsive and resilient international institutions.
