To represent this, the over 200 occasions that the CNR has organized this 12 months, all aimed toward selling the diffusion of scientific tradition. The three exhibitions arrange this 12 months even have this process, devoted to man’s imprint on the planet (‘Anthropocene. The Earth of Iron and Fireplace’), to nanotechnologies (‘The types of the invisible’) and to a journey into analysis performed by the establishment (‘Science is completed in 100’).

Leptin stated she was “very optimistic” in regards to the state of well being of Italian analysis, based on which “each nation should supply researchers satisfactory infrastructure and should give younger individuals profession alternatives”. Anna Maria Bernini and Maria Chiara Carrozza are conscious of this want for infrastructure and “try to intervene on this sense”.
