North American-based scientist beware!

The non-profit Italian Scientists and Scholars of North America Foundation (ISSNAF) was recently established to foster 2-way exchanges between Italy and North America. Among the founding members are also 3 Nobel Prize winners (R. Dulbecco, L. Ignarro & R. Giacconi).

ISSNAF’s mission is to provide funding opportunities for Italian Scientists who wish to work in the US and Canada, and also, sharing the spirit of Science in the Bel Paese, offer funding to North American-based scientist who want to travel the other way around to work in the Belpaese.

The first fellowship announcement has just been posted on their portal and ISSNAF has pledged to make many more available in the near future.

ISSNAF website also contains a scientists database and a bi-monthly newsletter. Check it out.

See you for a cup of coffee, once you come over.
Good luck, Massimo
