The annual event of ISSNAF (Italian Scientists and Scholars in North America Foundation), which brings together thousands of Italian scientists, academics, and technologists working in laboratories, universities, and research and innovation centers across North America, began today at the Embassy of Italy in Washington.

In opening the event, Italy’s Ambassador to the United States, Mariangela Zappia, highlighted that the granting of the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic is a top-level confirmation of the importance Italian institutions place on ISSNAF’s work.
