More research cooperation between the two sides of the Atlantic, new disciplines, and a strong female leadership component: ISSNAF, the foundation that brings together thousands of Italian scientists and academics working in laboratories, universities and research centers in North America, renews itself and takes stock of its activities during the annual event held online on Tuesday December 1.

The annual ISSNAF event, held under the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, opened with a welcome address by the Ambassador of Italy to the United States, Armando Varricchio. The Italian Minister of University and Research, Gaetano Manfredi, delivered remarks live from Italy. The presence of Minister Manfredi and the essential support of the Italian Embassy testify to the growing importance of this annual event.
