IULM and Meregalli Group: Partnership for the Food & Wine Master's Program

IULM University has signed a collaboration agreement with the Meregalli Group of Monza, one of Italy’s leading wine and spirits dealers and importers. This partnership, which builds on the university’s professional focus, aims to strengthen and enrich the curriculum for the upcoming edition of the Master’s in Food and Wine Communication (Academic Year 2026/2027).

The partnership aims to provide concrete support to future professionals in the sector and to facilitate the recruitment of new talent. To this end, the Meregalli Group will fund entrance scholarships for the most deserving students who apply for admission to the 16th edition of the Master’s program.

The integration of classroom instruction and business dynamics will be at the heart of the joint activities. Enrolled students will have the opportunity to tackle a project based on a real-world business brief: divided into communication agencies, the students will develop targeted strategies for the company, and the groups that propose the best solutions will receive dedicated study awards.

Special thanks go to the Career Service and Corporate Relations Office, and in particular to the Partnership Office, which handles relations with companies; their work has made this collaboration possible.

With this initiative led by Marcello Meregalli, CEO of the group, and Corrado Mapelli, General Manager, IULM and the Meregalli Group reaffirm their commitment to building a solid bridge between academic excellence and the job market, offering future communications managers the essential practical tools to excel in the food and wine sector.
