The series of #univrstories video continues. Here the story of a double success of Federico Giusfredi, an Italian researcher coming from Munich, Germany to Verona.

Giusfredi arrived to the University of Verona as Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow  in June 2015 to study the syntax of an ancient Anatolian language, the the Luwian language. His project “A Computer-Aided Study of the Luwian (Morpho)-Syntax” (SLUW) was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 655954.

Few months ago, Federico Giusfredi has received the prestigious ERC Starting Grant for his project “Pre-Classical Anatolian Languages in Contact” (PALaC), funded by European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 757299). The aim of the PALaC project is to provide a systematic and complete study of language-contact in pre-classical Anatolia, from the XVIII century BCE up the Anatolian and Syro-Anatolian cultures of the Iron ages.

Also for PALaC, Giusfredi has chosen the University of Verona as his host institution.
