The Scientific Attaché is the person in charge – locally – for the new Innovitalia platform of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation dedicated to Italian researchers abroad. This platform, aside from enabling visitors to get acquainted with Italian researchers all over the world and their skills and expertise, offers information on work opportunities, news and events related to the world of science and technology.
To this end, all Italian researchers in Malaysia are invited to apply for their registration, which will be validated by the Scientific Attaché.
The International Relations Offices of Italian Universities and Research Institutions can contact the Scientific Attaché to facilitate contacts, meetings and agreements with their counterparts. These offices are also invited to communicate to the Scientific Attaché any new MoUs and Collaboration Agreements and to register the same agreements on the CINECA website.
