Strengthening the scientific relationships between Italy and Russia to encourage the exchange of ideas and scientific and technological skills between the two countries. With this purpose, the Italian National Research Council and two Russian research institutions, the Russian Academy of Science and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, have formalized their new partnerships. The collaborations between the two countries will concern several different scientific areas and will involve the researchers from the two countries through bilateral and multilateral projects

A pair of quantized vortices within a fluid of light and matter can evolve along trajectories analogous to the interaction of two point-like scattering particles. This was demonstrated by the experimental team at Institute of nanotechnology  of Cnr in Lecce, Italy in collaboration with SDSU's Prof. Carretero in a recent study published in Nature Communications

The aim of the 2018 edition of the Italian crystallographic association (Aia) International crystallography school (Aics2018) is to give an overview on the characterization of polycrystalline materials through X-ray powder diffraction. The event is organized also by Institute of crystallography Cnr-Ic
