On the occasion of Italian Research Day in the World (Giornata della Ricerca Italiana nel Mondo, or GRIM for short), the Embassy of Italy in Washington, together with the Italian consular network and the Italian Cultural Institutes in the United States, has promoted a series of initiatives to highlight the contribution of Italian research at the global level, in line with the scientific diplomacy efforts carried out in recent years.

“This year, the Embassy and our network in the United States have spearheaded a series of activities and events aimed at strengthening ties between the Italian and American research communities, showcasing Italian scientific excellence in the U.S. In particular, we sought to promote the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) research centers, with a special focus on priority areas such as life sciences, quantum computing, agritech, and artificial intelligence,” stated the Ambassador of Italy to the United States, Mariangela Zappia.
