Thank you for this link. I must apologize, but this equipollenza procedure just seems too much for me to handle. It looks like an incredibly annoying and time-consuming procedure, not to mention the fees. I'm currently in the US and I don't have time to deal with the Italian consulate in Toulouse, which would be only one of the many things to do.

You'd think that with E.U. integration, it's about time that a doctorate from the French ministry of education is automatically recognized in Italy. I find this very unfortunate.

I'm sorry that I am not persistent with this, but I am applying to many jobs this Fall, and I can't spend that much energy on one position.

Thank you very much again for your consideration.

Best,

Brice
