\u201cDiplomacy and science are natural allies\u201d, since there is no global challenge \u2013 food and energy security, climate change or pandemic disease \u2013 that should not be confronted together\u201d, she added. And yet, in Italy scientists have been left \u201cin the margins of foreign policy decision-making\u201d, and therefore \u201ca change of pace is needed\u201d. The foreign ministry is working on \u201ccultivating the terrain for encounter\u201d between science and business, since a country without raw materials \u201cneeds to make the most of its talent\u201d. It is therefore necessary \u201cto overcome our fear of brain-drain and help our talents to gain experience abroad and then return to Italy\u201d.<\/P>
