The United States hosted the Republic of Italy in Washington, D.C., on April 1-2 for the 15th U.S.-Italy Joint Commission Meeting (JCM) on Science and Technology Cooperation. The State Department’s Senior Bureau Official for European and Eurasian Affairs, Brendan Hanrahan, co-chaired the meeting with Italy’s Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Maria Tripodi.
The delegations used this JCM to commit to deepening cooperation in quantum sciences, high‑performance computing and artificial intelligence, fission and fusion energy, biotechnology, and advanced materials. The two sides decided to promote joint research, researcher exchanges, shared infrastructure, and public‑private partnerships.
