+                <p>The <strong>Advanced Learning and Research Institute</strong> (<strong>ALaRI</strong>) was
+                    established in 1999 at the <a target=_blank
+                        href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Università_della_Svizzera_italiana">Università della
+                        Svizzera italiana</a> (USI) in <a target=_blank href="https://www.lugano.ch/"> Lugano</a>,
+                    to promote research and education in embedded systems and, later, it was incorporated into the <a
+                        target=_blank href="https://www.inf.usi.ch/en">Faculty of Informatics</a> of the same
+                    university. After almost 20 years of research and premier education in embedded systems, ALaRI has

+                <h2>Brief History</h2>
+                <p>ALaRI was founded to fill up a research and educational gap in embedded systems (today better known
+                    as cyber-physical
+                    systems or Internet of Things) by ex-Rector of Politecnico di Milano, Prof. <a target=_blank

+                    (Politecnico di
+                    Milano) and Prof. <a target=_blank href="https://si2.epfl.ch/demichel/"> Giovani de Micheli</a>
+                    (Stanford University, currently EPFL-Lausanne) with enthusiastic support of industry, especially ST
+                    Microelectronics and Hewlett-Packard who became major supporters of the Institute. Also, companies
+                    such as
+                    Bosch, csem and imec, among others, provided support in the form of internships for ALaRI students.
+                    The main
+                    source of funding to support ALaRI’s research and infrastructure came from industry, Swiss National
+                    Foundation, European Union, and the university.</p>
+                <p>The directors of the Institute include Prof. <a target=_blank
