Italian term or phrase: in capo alla
Gli studenti del corso in design e tecnica, finanziato da Regione XXX e istituto YYY ***in capo alla*** Fondazione ABC, hanno presentato 15 progetti per il concorso.

Unsure how to interpret "in capo alla" in this context -- with/on behalf of/ under the auspices of??? something else entirely? It's part of a press release about a contest.
Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
There may be a trck there...

When you are UNDER the X (f), the right expressions are "fare capo alla ..." or "essere a capo della ..." (sic!). And here we see (essere) IN capo alla.
Unless it's just a "relaxed" use of articles, the expression should mean the exact opposite of "a capo", that is not being under smthng but rather being at the head of smthng.

So, re. your own suggestion, it may be not under the aegis OF but being the aegis FOR
