"Our priority strategic objective is to bring to Italy the future gravitational wave observatory envisaged by Europe, the Einstein Telescope, for which we compete with the Netherlands". Thus the Minister of University and Research, Anna Maria Bernini , speaking at the XV Conference of Ambassadors to the Farnesina.
Where he recalled how the profile of Italy as a protagonist in the world also passes through large scientific infrastructures . «We are among the major global players, for those we host and for those in which we participate, with huge investments and human capital of the highest level. Let's think, for example, of the European Southern Observatory, which is building the largest telescope in the world in Chile also thanks to Italian science and technology, thanks to the continuous impetus of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs», he underlined.
«It is an extraordinarily important project - Bernini then recalled regarding the Einstein Telescope - which will be able to strengthen the leadership of our country , thanks to the National Institute of Nuclear Physics and all the players involved. And which will be able to give exceptional opportunities to the most suitable territory, the Lula mine in Sardinia ».
"I want - Bernini also said - to thank Professor Giorgio Parisi from the bottom of my heart, who accepted my proposal to chair the Committee that will support the Italian candidacy , which we will formally set up in the coming weeks". Brussels will be fundamental in the promotion and international involvement of the Italian candidacy», the conclusion.
