Thanks to you, our country is being appreciated in China,\u00a0where Italy is seen as a country with\u00a0cutting-edge\u00a0scientific research and technology,&#8221; said Ambassador Sequi during his opening address. This innovative project seeks to\u00a0network in China\u00a0promoting\u00a0the\u00a0most relevant and advanced\u00a0elements of\u00a0Italy&#8217;s cultural and economic progress and promotion. Italian researchers working\u00a0in\u00a0China represent one of the\u00a0strongest elements of our presence in that country which, according to points made\u00a0during the debate, offers a favourable opportunity for research thanks to the availability of financial resources and\u00a0high-level scientific infrastructures. China\u00a0has, in fact,\u00a0made many strides forward with its open approach and internationalisation policy and is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for\u00a0young Italian talents attracted especially by the two\u00a0major research &#8216;hubs&#8217;\u00a0&#8211; Beijing and Shanghai &#8211;\u00a0at the top of international rankings in research. &#8220;China represents an extraordinary opportunity\u00a0not only for individual researchers but also for Italy&#8217;s entire\u00a0research system, thus providing new opportunities for\u00a0major ambitious bilateral projects,&#8221; added the scientific attache to Beijing, Professor Plinio Innocenzi, addressing the audience. The presence of Italian researchers in the\u00a0country standing second in the\u00a0world, after the United States, in terms of research investments &#8211; accounting for 2.25 percent of its GDP &#8211; has grown in recent years,\u00a0in both qualitative and quantitative terms. This positive trend has been confirmed also by data referring to bilateral scientific collaboration &#8211; which has grown exponentially\u00a0in the last few years, as shown by the higher number of joint publications (+250 percent) produced since 2010. To promote and facilitate\u00a0inclusion in the Chinese research system, Italian researchers have set up an association &#8211; Associazione Accademici Italiani in Cina. Italy and\u00a0China both participate in major scientific projects which include such stakeholders as\u00a0the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) [National Nuclear Physics Institute] working in the field of particle physics, and the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) [Italian Space Agency], working in\u00a0the space industry,\u00a0aiming to implement scientific satellites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Italian Embassy in Beijing has organised the\u00a0first day of Italian Research in China, an event attended by over 50 Italian researchers and professors\u00a0coming from several areas of the country. &#8220;You are true testimony to the entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, as well as\u00a0the intellectual ingenuity which Italy exports across the world.
