The opening of the \u201cItaly of the Future\u201d travelling exhibition at the Italian Cultural Institute in Tokyo has launched a month of seminars, meetings and events designed to showcase Italian excellence to the Japanese research and industry communities in the fields of science, technology and innovation. <\/P>
\n
Coordinated by the Embassy of Italy in Tokyo as part of \u201cItaly in Japan\u201d programme of events, the exhibition is promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was organised by the National Research Council (CNR) in collaboration with Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the Biorobotics Institute at the Sant\u2019Anna School of Advanced studies in Pisa and other scientific institutions. \u201cItaly of the Future\u201d will provide an opportunity for these organisations to meet and exchange views with their Japanese counterparts. <\/P>
\n
The aim is to explore opportunities for bilateral collaboration in the research and technology field and to disseminate a image of today and tomorrow\u2019s Italy in Japan. The programme of events will highlight the contribution made by our scientific community to sectors such as robotics, particle physics, medicine, transport, the \u201cNew Made in Italy\u201d brand and conservation as applied to the cultural heritage. <\/P>
\n
Speakers at the Tokyo event included CNR President Luigi Nicolais, the Scientific Director of the IIT, Roberto Cingolani, the Director of the Biorobotics Institute, Paolo Dario, and INFN President Fernando Ferroni.<\/P>
\n
Participants on the Japanese side included the Presidents of the Science and Technology in Society Forum, Koji Omi, and of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Yuichiro Anzai, and the President of Riken and Nobel Prize for Chemistry, Ryoji Noyori.<\/P>
\n
\u201cOur ultimate goal\u201d, declared Ambassador Domenico Giorgi, \u201cis to convey a modern image of an Italy rich in art and history, which at the same time produces cutting-edge research and technology. The warm welcome extended by Japan is symptomatic of the country\u2019s growing interest in Italy as a technological partner\u201d. <\/P>
\n
The Science and Technology Focus of Italy in Japan 2013 will run for a full month. It will act as a framework for the forthcoming signing of the 10th Executive Programme of the bilateral science and technology agreement between Italy and Japan, first set up in 1988. Highlights of the programme include:<\/P>
