Comments: The department has an advanced computer and media laboratory, and research facilities in Milan and Turin are within easy reach. The teaching commitment takes 3 days a week and the Chair is free to engage in research trips for the remaining time; other possibilities depend upon the type of research in which the Chair is engaged. Past Fulbright Scholars have lived in the city of Turin (45 minutes from Vercelli) and accommodation has often been found through private searches. Residential hotels are available in Vercelli, Turin and Milan.
