On 30 June, the Embassy of Italy in Vienna hosted the event “Einstein Telescope: Exploring the Dark Universe from Underground” at Palazzo Metternich, on the sidelines of the 34th edition of the Bonaudi-Chiavassa International School on Particle Detectors.
The initiative was actively supported and promoted by ASSAI (Association for Scientific Exchanges between Austria and Italy), in collaboration with the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the University of Turin, TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) and the Atominstitut, which hosted the School, as well as the Marietta Blau Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
The event forms part of the activities carried out by the Embassy of Italy in Vienna to support scientific research and promote scientific cooperation, and is also aligned with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation’s strategy to promote the Italian Research Day in the World.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Giovanni Pugliese highlighted the Embassy’s commitment to science diplomacy, an effective instrument for further strengthening the already well-established ties between Austria and Italy through cooperation in the fields of science and research.
