About InterpreMY

We are Bianca and Francesca and Interpremy is our joint educational project.
Following our commitment to translating our research outputs into concrete training solutions to tangible professional challenges,
we realised the need for an advanced technological infrastructure that could help us make our training more organised and systematic.
This is how it all began...
