(20 January, 2016) We must consolidate the scientific partnership between Italy and the US to increase the competitiveness of our innovation chain. As Italian research and businesses dialogue more and more with the US, this is a valuable opportunity to promote our talents and our incredible know-how in the field of technology transfer abroad.” Claims Fabio De Furia, President of the Consorzio Roma Ricerche and Vice President of the Miami Scientific Italian Community on the sidelines of EU Research and Innovation Funding Workshop on Horizon 2020. The meeting, held yesterday in Miami in partnership with the Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence, Jean Monnet Project and sponsored by Gray Robinson Attorneys at Law, saw the participation of experts from the European Commission and the Miami scientific community as Viktoria Bodnárová (Regional Representative, Euraxess Links North America) and Matthias Haury (CEO The Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience). The event was an opportunity to discuss the Horizon 2020 calls on bilateral cooperation for innovation, research, technology transfers, health, sustainability and environmental policies, and to explore new opportunities for stable collaboration between Italy and Florida.
